MRI near Scottsdale, TAS

No practice in Scottsdale is accredited for MRI. The closest is I-MED Radiology St Lukes Hospital, 43 km away in East Launceston — about 50 minutes in the car. After that, the options are Launceston General Hospital Medical Imaging in Launceston (45 km) and Lumus Imaging Launceston in Launceston (45 km).

Widen the search to 200 km and there are twelve MRI practices; the closest five are above.

I-MED Radiology St Lukes Hospital, Launceston General Hospital Medical Imaging and Radiology Tasmania Launceston are on the Government's Medicare-eligible MRI list (last updated 17 February 2026); Lumus Imaging Launceston is accredited for MRI but not on that list, so a scan there may not attract a rebate.

Scottsdale has no accredited imaging practice of its own that we can see in the register, so any scan means travelling. The closest imaging of any kind is X-Ray Newstead in Newstead, 43 km away.

To put 43 km in context: of the 185 TAS towns we hold, 31 are further than Scottsdale from a MRI service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

Across Tasmania, 12 practices are accredited for MRI and 6 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — MRI is not spread evenly, and Scottsdale sits in one of the gaps.

Accreditation windows: I-MED Radiology St Lukes Hospital to 31 July 2027, Launceston General Hospital Medical Imaging to 31 August 2027 and Lumus Imaging Launceston to 30 September 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 one lists opening hours. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
