Medical imaging refers to different technologies that are used to view the human body in order to diagnose, monitor, or treat medical conditions. This can include radiology (which uses imaging technology like X-rays, ultrasounds, computed tomography known as CT, and magnetic resonance known as MRI) as well as Nuclear Medicine (which uses small amounts of radioactive substances known as isotopes) and BMD (bone mineral densitometry).
The Department of Medical Imaging and Nuclear Medicine at Gosford and Wyong hospitals provides 24/7 emergency and inpatient services to the Central Coast community, including X-rays, CT scans, ultrasounds, MRIs, BMD and Nuclear Medicine.
You do not need to be a patient in one of our hospitals to be referred to our services for an examination. We accept referral forms from your GP or specialist.
To make an appointment, please phone 4320 2540. If you would prefer to email us, please see the contact us page. Nuclear Medicine, BMD, MRI, CT and ultrasound appointments typically take place within five working days.
Need an X-ray? No need for an appointment. We accept walk-ins. Remember to bring your referral from your GP or specialist.
All Medicare eligible examinations are bulk-billed, including MRI, with no gap payment.
Please speak to your referring doctor for details on what is eligible.
Examinations that are not Medicare eligible will attract a flat fee.
