Medical imaging in Western Australia

Western Australia has 185 accredited imaging practices that a referred patient can attend, in 109 towns and suburbs.

By scan: 165 sites for x-ray, 143 sites for ultrasound, 124 sites for CT, 46 sites for MRI, 26 sites for nuclear medicine and 14 sites for PET.

35 of the 46 MRI practices in Western Australia are on the Australian Government's Medicare-eligible MRI list, which means eleven practices run an accredited MRI that may not attract a rebate. That gap is the single most useful thing to check before an MRI here.

The thinnest coverage in Western Australia is PET and nuclear medicine.

We hold five districts in Western Australia with at least two towns that have their own imaging, and 393 towns with a page of their own. The largest by number of practices are South Perth, Como, Applecross, Manning and Salter Point.

If your town is not listed, start with the district it sits in — every town page gives the nearest machine for the scans that town does not have, measured from that town rather than from the capital.

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