About these results
Lake Imaging North Melbourne Specialist and Research Centre has an accredited MRI unit, but it does not appear on the Government's Medicare-eligible MRI list. An MRI there may not attract a Medicare rebate, so ask about the out-of-pocket cost before you book.
North Melbourne has other imaging practices, but this is the only one accredited for MRI: Vision Radiology North Melbourne is accredited for x-ray, ultrasound and CT; Melbourne Theranostic Innovation Centre (MTIC) covers CT, nuclear medicine and PET.
If they are booked out, the next nearest MRI is The Royal Children'S Hospital in Parkville, about 1 km from North Melbourne. After that it is Pauline Gandel Women's Imaging Centre, Royal Women's Hospital in Parkville, 1 km out.

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.
