Medical imaging in Sydney's inner west, NSW

Sydney's inner west covers 45 suburbs with accredited imaging, and 44 practices between them.

Between them they run x-ray at 43 sites, ultrasound at 39 sites, CT at 35 sites, MRI at 8 sites, nuclear medicine at 3 sites and PET at 1 site.

The scarcest scans here are PET — if your referral is for one of those, check the suburb page before you drive, because the nearest machine may be in a different suburb from the rest of your care.

Six practices in Sydney's inner west appear on the Government's Medicare-eligible MRI list, so a Medicare rebate is possible for an MRI there. Any other MRI unit in the region is accredited but not on that list.

The best-served suburb here is Auburn, with six practices. Ashfield Radiology is accredited for x-ray, ultrasound and CT; I-MED Radiology Ashfield covers x-ray, ultrasound and CT; Auburn Hospital/Imaging Department runs x-ray, ultrasound and CT.

You will find them in Ashfield, Auburn, Bankstown, Burwood, Campsie, Chester Hill, Concord West, Drummoyne, Earlwood and Five Dock, and ten other places.

A PET scan is the scarcest scan in Australia — the scanners sit almost entirely in capital cities and a handful of large regional hospitals.
