Medical imaging in Tasmania

Tasmania has 34 accredited imaging practices that a referred patient can attend, in 23 towns and suburbs.

By scan: 30 sites for x-ray, 28 sites for ultrasound, 22 sites for CT, 12 sites for MRI, 5 sites for nuclear medicine and 3 sites for PET.

Eleven of the twelve MRI practices in Tasmania are on the Australian Government's Medicare-eligible MRI list, which means one practice runs an accredited MRI that may not attract a rebate. That gap is the single most useful thing to check before an MRI here.

Pet and Nuclear medicine are the hardest scans to get outside the capital in Tasmania.

We hold one districts in Tasmania with at least two towns that have their own imaging, and 100 towns with a page of their own. The largest by number of practices are Sandy Bay, South Hobart, Battery Point, Dynnyrne and Hobart.

If your town is not listed, start with the district it sits in — every town page gives the nearest machine for the scans that town does not have, measured from that town rather than from the capital.

scanfinder shows you where imaging is available. Your doctor decides which scan you need — you'll need a referral for all of these.
