Benson Radiology Christies Beach

MRI accredited, not Medicare-listed. This practice has an accredited MRI unit, but it does not appear on the Government's Medicare-eligible MRI list. An MRI here may not attract a Medicare rebate. Ask about the out-of-pocket cost before you book.

It is the only accredited imaging practice in Christies Beach that we hold.

Light Radiology Morphett Vale is 4 km away in Morphett Vale. A referral is generally not tied to one clinic, so if the wait here is long it is worth asking whether another practice can see you sooner.

Services this practice lists itself: {'id': 207, 'title': 'CT', 'slug': 'ct'} and {'id': 210, 'title': 'MRI', 'slug': 'mri'}. That is the practice's own wording, kept within what it is accredited for — we do not treat a chain's national service menu as a claim about one branch.

An MRI uses a magnetic field rather than x-rays, and the machines are expensive, so far fewer places have one.
