Radius Imaging, Highton

Radius Imaging is an accredited imaging practice at 158 Colac Rd, Highton VIC 3216. The register records it under practice number 8767, accredited for x-ray, ultrasound, CT and MRI, with the current accreditation running from 1 September 2017 to 31 May 2027.

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.

Phone 03 5224 3000 and their website. These contact details come from healthdirect's directory rather than the practice itself, so confirm them on the call.

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

For nuclear medicine and PET you would need somewhere else: nuclear medicine and PET are both at Lake Imaging St John of God Hospital Geelong in Geelong, about 7 km away.

Lake Imaging St John of God Hospital Geelong is 7 km away in Geelong. 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.

This page is assembled from the Medicare LSPN register and healthdirect's directory, plus the practice's own website — if any of it is out of date, the practice is right and we are wrong.

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