Medical imaging in Perth's northern suburbs, WA

There are 17 accredited imaging practices across 76 suburbs in Perth's northern suburbs.

Across the region that is x-ray at 16 sites, ultrasound at 17 sites, CT at 13 sites, MRI at 6 sites, nuclear medicine at 2 sites and PET at 1 site.

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.

Five practices in Perth's northern suburbs 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 Joondalup, with six practices. Perth Radiological Clinic Alkimos is accredited for x-ray, ultrasound, CT and MRI; Butler Medical Imaging Centre covers x-ray, ultrasound and CT; Western Radiology Clarkson runs x-ray, ultrasound and CT.

The practices sit in Alkimos, Butler, Clarkson, Craigie, Currambine, Duncraig, Hillarys, Joondalup, Madeley and Quinns Rocks, and one other place.

A PET scan is the scarcest scan in Australia — the scanners sit almost entirely in capital cities and a handful of large regional hospitals.
