Medical imaging in the Northern Beaches, NSW

the Northern Beaches covers 64 suburbs with accredited imaging, and 29 practices between them.

The accredited coverage here is x-ray at 28 sites, ultrasound at 28 sites, CT at 24 sites, MRI at 14 sites, nuclear medicine at 10 sites and PET at 3 sites.

Six practices in the Northern Beaches 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 Frenchs Forest, with five practices. I-MED Radiology Brookvale is accredited for x-ray, ultrasound, CT and MRI; Lumus Imaging Brookvale covers x-ray, ultrasound, CT and MRI; Beaches X-ray Dee Why (Vision XRAY Group) runs x-ray, ultrasound and CT.

The practices sit in Brookvale, Dee Why, Erina, Frenchs Forest, Gosford, Manly, Mona Vale, North Gosford, Terrey Hills and Umina Beach, and four 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.
