Bayside Standing MRI

When you’re injured and in pain, you want clinical management of your issue to begin as soon as possible – that’s exactly what Bayside Standing MRI provides.



Bayside Standing MRI introduced the first upright magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) service in Victoria. Unlike tunnel MRI scanners, which have the patient lying down only, our MRI scanner can image particular regions of your body in a variety of positions – including standing up. In this weight bearing position, we can better assess a range of issues and injuries. In fact, in some cases, we can detect issues that won’t be detected in a lying down position. To achieve this benefit with our service, it's essential that a direct comparison is made between imaging in both lying down and upright positions – using the same machine.



As well as improved scanning, Bayside Standing MRI's aim is to provide you with the fastest possible assessment of your injury. Your General Practitioner, specialist or other registered health care practitioner can refer you directly to us, or you can come to our centre for an In-House referral - that we can provide if needed. This can shave weeks off your assessment time, which means you’ll be able to have your injury – and the associated pain – attended to quickly.
