Medical imaging in Murrumbidgee

About our medical imaging services

Medical imaging has become a critical part of modern healthcare that involves the production of high quality images for the purpose of diagnosis of injury or disease. Our networked and digital imaging services give your referring doctor or specialist a report on your medical imaging that supports your clinical care. A patient's diagnosis and ultimate treatment is often dependent on the images produced. Medical imaging uses both ionising and non-ionising radiation in the imaging process.

Accessing medical imaging services

You don't need to be a hospital inpatient to access medical imaging services. Limited outpatient X-rays and a range of medical imaging services are available at some Murrumbidgee LHD hospitals. Note that emergencies and urgent inpatients will take precedence over outpatient examinations which may/can be rescheduled at short notice. Murrumbidgee LHD bulk bills for outpatient medical imaging services so there is no cost for any Medicare-eligible funded service.
