Medical imaging in Melbourne's south-east, VIC

Melbourne's south-east covers 42 suburbs with accredited imaging, and 43 practices between them.

Across the region that is x-ray at 40 sites, ultrasound at 42 sites, CT at 37 sites, MRI at 8 sites, nuclear medicine at 6 sites and PET at 1 site.

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.

Four practices in Melbourne's south-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 Berwick, with eight practices. Capital Radiology Berwick is accredited for ultrasound; Capital Radiology Berwick covers x-ray, ultrasound, CT and MRI; Dr Myuran Ponnampalam runs ultrasound.

They are spread through Berwick, Botanic Ridge, Carrum Downs, Clyde, Clyde North, Cranbourne, Cranbourne North, Cranbourne West, Dandenong and Dandenong South, and ten 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.

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.
