Preparing for your shoulder MRI
- Complete the metal safety questionnaire and mention implants or previous surgery
- Remove jewellery, watches and anything metallic

- Bring previous shoulder X-rays or ultrasound reports if you have them
About 20–30 minutes, or around an hour if an arthrogram is included
Referral, Medicare & bulk billing
Shoulder MRI generally needs a specialist referral (for example an orthopaedic surgeon) to attract a Medicare rebate, and the scan must be done on a Medicare-eligible machine. GP-referred shoulder MRI for adults is usually private, though there are broader GP options for children under 16. The clinic will confirm whether your referral is Medicare-eligible. Booking through Radly sends a request, and the clinic confirms the time with you.

Can a GP refer me for a shoulder MRI under Medicare?
For adults, GP-referred shoulder MRI is generally not Medicare-rebated, so it would be private. A specialist referral may attract a rebate. The clinic will confirm for your referral.
Is ultrasound or MRI better for the shoulder?
Ultrasound is often the first test for rotator cuff problems. MRI gives more detail on the labrum, cartilage and bone and is commonly used before surgery.
What is an MR arthrogram?
It's a shoulder MRI done after contrast is injected into the joint. It shows the labrum and joint lining more clearly and is often requested when instability is suspected.
