Access reports from X-rays, CT scans and ultrasounds that have been uploaded by your healthcare providers.
What are diagnostic imaging reports?
X-ray reports for limbs (arms and legs) are available to view in My Health Record or the 1800MEDICARE app as soon as they are uploaded.
Other X-rays and diagnostic imaging reports (for scans like CT, MRI and PET scans, mammograms and ultrasounds) are viewable after 5 days, reduced from the previous 7-day delay. The delay will apply regardless of the result. If there are multiple results in the same report, where different delay periods apply, the 5-day delay period will apply to the entire report.
Your report will be uploaded to My Health Record unless you tell the requesting healthcare provider you don't want it uploaded. If you change your mind after the report has been uploaded, you can remove it from your record at any time. You can also set document access controls on your reports.
People who can access your record will be able to view these reports. Find out more about who can access a record. Diagnostic imaging reports will also still be sent directly to your GP or healthcare provider.
With diagnostic imaging reports stored in your record, you can:
keep track of the scans and examinations you have had and when you had them
monitor your results over time
improve access to your health information by your healthcare team
Select Clinical Records, then select Diagnostic Imaging Reports.
Once you have selected the document type, you will see a list of documents. From here you can view documents, control access or remove them if you wish. You can also print your documents.
