About these results
Lochinvar has no MRI of its own. The nearest one is at PRP Diagnostic Imaging Maitland in Maitland, about 11 km away. After that, the options are Hunter Imaging Group — East Maitland in East Maitland (15 km) and Hunter Imaging Metford in Metford (15 km).
158 practices within 200 km of Lochinvar are accredited for MRI in total; the five above are the closest by straight-line distance from the centre of town.
PRP Diagnostic Imaging Maitland, Hunter Imaging Metford and Hnei-The New Maitland Hospital are on the Government's Medicare-eligible MRI list (last updated 17 February 2026); Hunter Imaging Group — East Maitland is accredited for MRI but not on that list, so a scan there may not attract a rebate.
Within 10 km of Lochinvar, accredited imaging covers x-ray, ultrasound and CT. If your referral is for one of those, see everything Lochinvar has for the nearby options and their exact addresses.
To put 11 km in context: of the 1544 NSW towns we hold, 465 are further than Lochinvar from a MRI service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.
Across New South Wales, 204 practices are accredited for MRI and 84 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — MRI is not spread evenly, and Lochinvar sits in one of the gaps.
The register has these accreditations running to: PRP Diagnostic Imaging Maitland to 30 November 2027, Hunter Imaging Group — East Maitland to 31 July 2027 and Hunter Imaging Metford to 31 July 2027. We drop a modality the day its accreditation lapses, so if it is listed above it is current.
Of the five practices listed, all publish a phone number, all have a website and two list opening hours. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
scanfinder shows you where imaging is available. Your doctor decides which scan you need — you'll need a referral for all of these.
About MRI. An MRI uses a magnetic field rather than x-rays, and the machines are expensive, so far fewer places have one. Accreditation means a practice meets the Medicare requirements for it — it is not a ranking, and we publish no ratings. Distances are straight-line from the centre of the town, so the drive is a little longer.
