Noosa Radiology is excited to announce the installation of a new Siemens MAGNETOM Lumina 3T MRI scanner, now available with full Medicare rebates for eligible patients.
This significant upgrade allows patients across the Sunshine Coast region to access high-quality MRI scans with minimal or no out-of-pocket costs, effective 1 July 2025. The extension of Noosa Radiology’s MRI licence means more patients than ever can benefit from Medicare-funded scans—bringing advanced, affordable imaging closer to home.
“This is a significant step forward for both our practice and the local community,” said Dr. Drew McMenamin, owner and managing radiologist at Noosa Radiology. “We’re proud to offer world-class MRI imaging with full Medicare access. This is not only a win for our patients, but also for local GPs and specialists who now have greater access to fast, reliable diagnostics without the financial barrier.”
The Siemens 3T MRI delivers exceptionally fast and detailed images across all areas of the body—especially in neurology, musculoskeletal, and abdominal imaging—thanks to its cutting-edge AI-enhanced technology and wide-bore patient-friendly design.
Importantly, the new MRI service complements Noosa Radiology’s existing PET/CT capabilities, enabling a full suite of advanced imaging under one roof. This combination of high-resolution MRI and molecular imaging strengthens the centre’s ability to support early detection, diagnosis, and management of complex conditions, including cancer and neurological disorders.
Noosa Radiology continues to lead the way in independent, locally owned radiology services. The new MRI installation supports its mission to combine advanced technology with personalised care, ensuring patients receive the very best in diagnostic support.
