About these results

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.
