Medical imaging in Melbourne's inner north, VIC

Melbourne's inner north covers 49 suburbs with accredited imaging, and 37 practices between them.

Between them they run x-ray at 35 sites, ultrasound at 35 sites, CT at 30 sites, MRI at 12 sites, nuclear medicine at 2 sites and PET at 2 sites.

The scarcest scans here are nuclear medicine and 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.

Six practices in Melbourne's inner north 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 Heidelberg, with seven practices. Brunswick Medical Imaging is accredited for x-ray and ultrasound; Lumus Imaging Brunswick covers x-ray, ultrasound and CT; EMRG Imaging runs x-ray and ultrasound.

You will find them in Brunswick, Bulleen, Bundoora, Carlton North, Coburg, Essendon, Essendon North, Fairfield, Fawkner and Glenroy, and ten other places.

Nuclear medicine uses a small amount of a radioactive tracer, so it needs a licensed department rather than a general imaging room.

Each suburb below has its own page, with the distances measured from there rather than from the middle of the district.

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