We’re making a change to the way MRI services are provided at Peter Mac. From 14 August, patients will receive their MRI scans and some imaging services at a new facility at 2 St Andrews Place, East Melbourne.
Peter Mac Imaging East Melbourne is located on Level 2 of the former Peter Mac building - opposite the Fitzroy Gardens.
Letters and text messages will be sent to all patients ahead of their first appointment to confirm the time and the location.
Why we’re making this change
Our MRI service is being relocated before test trains start running in Melbourne’s Metro Tunnel. Trains using the new tunnel are expected to produce electromagnetic interference which may reduce the clarity of images generated by MRI equipment at Peter Mac’s Melbourne campus.
Once our MRI service has been relocated, testing will begin to understand the impact of any electromagnetic interference and steps will be put in place to protect the MRI equipment from potential interference.
The results of this testing will determine when MRI scanning can again take place at Peter Mac Melbourne.
MRI services will continue to be provided at Peter Mac's Melbourne campus (Grattan St, Parkville) up until 14 August.
