The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists (RANZCR) applauds the de-regulation of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) services announced in a record investment in the health system on budget night. 

De-regulation of Medicare-funded MRI services in regional, rural, and remote areas means Australian patients can easily access MRI services with reduced out-of-pocket costs and improved health outcomes. This also marks an exciting milestone of RANZCR advocacy work over the past years on several key health priorities that benefit Australian patients.
