Seven practices within 200 km of East Innisfail are accredited for MRI in total; the five above are the closest by straight-line distance from the centre of town.
The eligible ones are Queensland X-Ray Westcourt, North Queensland X-Ray Services (Parramatta Park,Cairns) and I-MED Radiology Cairns — they appear on the Government's Medicare-eligible MRI list (last updated 17 February 2026). Rural Medical Imaging Atherton runs an accredited MRI unit that is not on the list, so ask what an MRI there would cost you.
Within 10 km of East Innisfail, accredited imaging covers x-ray, ultrasound and CT. If your referral is for one of those, see everything East Innisfail has for the nearby options and their exact addresses.
For scale, 120 of the 1062 towns we hold in QLD sit further from MRI than East Innisfail does.
Across Queensland, 140 practices are accredited for MRI and 71 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — MRI is not spread evenly, and East Innisfail sits in one of the gaps.
Current Medicare accreditation runs: Rural Medical Imaging Atherton to 30 November 2027, Queensland X-Ray Westcourt to 30 June 2027 and North Queensland X-Ray Services (Parramatta Park,Cairns) to 31 May 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 three list opening hours. A phone call before you travel is worth it: a practice can be accredited for a scan and still not run it daily.
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.
