ABOUT FULL BODY MRI
Full Body MRI is a premium private MRI clinic located in Subiaco, Western Australia, providing full-body MRI screening examinations, musculoskeletal MRI and preventative health imaging services to privately paying patients.
We are building a clinic with a clear clinical identity: high-quality MRI reporting, genuine patient focus and turnaround times that match the expectations of privately paying patients and their referring practitioners. The quality of our reports is central to our reputation.
ROLE OVERVIEW

The Consultant Radiologist is responsible for delivering accurate, clinically relevant and well-communicated reports for musculoskeletal and full-body MRI examinations. The role requires an experienced radiologist who takes pride in the quality of their reporting, is responsive to referring practitioners and is comfortable working independently within a small, professional clinic environment.
