Medical imaging in Melbourne's east, VIC

Melbourne's east covers 87 suburbs with accredited imaging, and 55 practices between them.

The accredited coverage here is x-ray at 53 sites, ultrasound at 53 sites, CT at 45 sites, MRI at 16 sites, nuclear medicine at 7 sites and PET at 2 sites.

The scarcest scans here are PET — if your referral is for one of those, check the suburb page before you drive, because the nearest machine may be in a different suburb from the rest of your care.

Eleven practices in Melbourne's east 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 Box Hill, with six practices. Capital Radiology Knox is accredited for x-ray, ultrasound and CT; I-MED Radiology Blackburn covers x-ray and ultrasound; Lumus Imaging Blackburn South runs x-ray, ultrasound, CT and MRI.

The practices sit in Bayswater, Blackburn, Blackburn South, Boronia, Box Hill, Box Hill North, Burwood, Burwood East, Clayton and Croydon, and 16 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.
