Northside Imaging's X ray Mickleham service is one of Melbourne's most reliable and accessible diagnostic imaging options. The clinic provides walk-in X-ray services that are designed for accuracy, speed and comfort. It is supported by digital technology and highly-trained radiographers. If you have an injury, need to investigate persistent pain or are undergoing a medical examination, X-rays can be the most effective way to determine what is going on in the body.

What's an X ray?
A medical imaging technique, using low-dose radiation, creates detailed images of soft tissues and bones. It is commonly used to diagnose fractures, joint problems, chest issues, infections and other abnormalities.

Northside Imaging uses advanced digital equipment to produce high-quality images, while limiting radiation exposure to the lowest possible level. It is important to repeat imaging for those patients or who are sensitive to radiation. This includes children and the elderly.

Is an appointment required?
No appointment is needed for most X-ray studies. Northside Imaging offers convenient walk-in services so that patients can get imaging at the time of their choosing. This is especially beneficial for injuries requiring urgent assessment such as suspected fractures and joint dislocations, as well as workers who need medical imaging to support employment or insurance claims.

Does the service have a bulk billing?
Yes, in many cases. Northside Imaging offers bulk billing to Medicare-eligible individuals with a valid referral. The service is affordable, and financial barriers are removed to timely medical treatment. The clinic will accept all valid referrals from doctors, specialists, physiotherapists and chiropractors

How much time does it take to complete an X ray?
The majority of X-rays can be completed in only five to ten minutes. The images are then reviewed by a radiologist and the final report sent to the doctor of the patient within 24 hours. The clinic will prioritise reporting in urgent cases to ensure that treating doctors get results as soon as possible.
