- RMI
Atherton
Rural Medical Imaging is an independent locally owned medical imaging practice
We offer a comprehensive service of:
- Plain X-Ray
- OPG
- CT
- Ultrasound.
All services are bulk billed through Medicare, DVA and Worker’s Comp.
Most X-rays & OPGs can be done on a walk in basis. (Ultrasound & CT need to be booked).
We operate an ultrasound outreach service to Tully, Mission Beach & Innisfail Nursing Home.
Patients who receive a service through RMI are given a copy of their films on a CD. Most referring practitioners prefer to look at the films via the CD on their computer; however for those referrers who still like to view the images on film we can print these off on laser film for viewing.
