Imaging Queensland

What Imaging Queensland does

Imaging Queensland is a Queensland-based diagnostic imaging provider operating 25+ clinic sites across Central Queensland, Sunshine Coast, Moreton Bay, Deception Bay, and Brisbane. Founded in 2007 and consolidated under a unified brand in April 2025 from CitiScan Radiology, Lime Radiology, and IQ Radiology, the company sits within the wider IDX network alongside Sunshine Coast Radiology, Central Queensland Radiology, Diagnostic Imaging for Women, Advanced Women's Imaging, and Breast Diagnostic Specialists. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Integral Diagnostics (IDX), a publicly referenced Australian diagnostic imaging group.

The company delivers a comprehensive modality suite — X-ray, ultrasound, CT, MRI, bone density (DEXA), nuclear medicine, PET/CT, 2D/3D mammography, dental imaging, image-guided interventional pain management, obstetric imaging, and lung cancer screening — supported by sub-specialist radiologists across chest, breast, cardiac, musculoskeletal, and nuclear medicine disciplines. A flagship technology asset is the world's first Canon Aquilion Serve SP CT scanner (deployed December 2024 at Sunshine Coast University Private Hospital), featuring Canon AiCE Deep Learning reconstruction, SEMAR metal artefact reduction, and SilverBeam low-dose lung imaging. The IQ Vue patient app provides 24/7 access to images and reports with optional two-factor authentication; referrers access the network via e-referral integrations with Best Practice and Medical Director through HealthLink.

The business model is primarily fee-for-service diagnostic imaging billed to Medicare where MBS criteria are met (often fully bulk billed) or to patients as gap payments / private billing for non-rebatable scans and scans on partially licensed equipment. Customer segments span individual patients (B2C direct bookings, walk-in X-ray, IQ Vue), GPs/specialists/allied health referrers (B2B via Referrer Relationship Specialist and e-referral infrastructure), and occupational/industrial workers requiring mandated screening under the Coal Mine Workers Health Scheme and silicosis programs via Lungscreen endorsement. Go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer digital channels with a dedicated referrer engagement program including GP education webinars.

Revenue model

1. Diagnostic Imaging Services: Imaging Queensland generates revenue through providing diagnostic imaging procedures billed to Medicare (bulk billed where eligible) and patients for non-Medicare-rebatable scans. Revenue is derived from X-ray, MRI, CT, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, mammography, bone density, and interventional procedures. Some scans are fully bulk billed under Medicare; others require an out-of-pocket gap payment determined by the clinical indication on the referral and MBS criteria.
2. Bulk Billed Medicare Services: Medicare rebates cover diagnostic imaging services when specific MBS criteria are met (patient eligibility, machine Medicare licensing status, clinical justification on referral). Fully licensed MRI machines attract Medicare rebates for all scan types; partially licensed machines only for specific body areas or conditions. Referrals from specialists vs GPs can affect rebate eligibility for certain scans.
3. Donation-linked Diagnostic Services: For Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Imaging Queensland donates $5 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) for every diagnostic mammogram performed at the Rockhampton QTV clinic. This represents a charitable expense tied to service volume rather than a revenue stream.

Direct peers

• PRP Diagnostic Imaging: Australian diagnostic imaging network offering MRI, CT, ultrasound, mammography, nuclear medicine, dental imaging, and interventional procedures across NSW, VIC, and other states. Closely comparable mid-sized peer with similar modality mix and referrer relationships.
• Capital Radiology: Australian diagnostic imaging operator (subsidiary of Capitol Health) providing MRI, CT, ultrasound, X-ray, nuclear medicine, and PET across metropolitan and regional sites. Direct peer offering comparable modality breadth and referrer-driven model.
• I-MED Radiology Network: Australia's largest diagnostic imaging network with 250+ clinics across the country, offering the same comprehensive modalities (X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, PET). Most directly comparable national competitor to Imaging Queensland's 25+ site platform.
• QLD X-Ray: Queensland-headquartered diagnostic imaging provider offering the full range of modalities including MRI, CT, ultrasound, mammography, and interventional procedures. Direct in-state competitor overlapping with IQ's Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, and Central Queensland catchments.

Others

• GE HealthCare: Global medical imaging equipment OEM supplying CT, MRI, ultrasound, and PET systems to diagnostic imaging providers. Competes with Canon in IQ's procurement decisions and serves the same downstream imaging-center customer base globally.
• Integral Diagnostics (IDX): ASX-listed parent company of Imaging Queensland. Owns and operates multiple regional diagnostic imaging platforms across Australia and New Zealand; provides IQ with corporate, capital, and operational infrastructure under a shared operating model.
• Canon Medical Systems: Medical imaging equipment vendor that partnered with IQ for the world's first Canon Aquilion Serve SP CT installation. Strategic technology supplier rather than competitor, but closely tied to IQ's flagship modality positioning.

Regional players

• Mater Health Services: Queensland-based private hospital and outpatient provider in Brisbane operating diagnostic imaging services (MRI, CT, ultrasound, mammography, nuclear medicine). Overlapping service portfolio in the same Brisbane market; competes for referrers and insured patients.

Broad incumbents

• Healius (Lumus Imaging): ASX-listed healthcare group whose Lumus Imaging division operates a large national diagnostic imaging network alongside pathology and day hospitals. Larger, diversified incumbent with overlapping modality offerings in the same Australian market.
• Sonic Healthcare: Global ASX-listed diagnostics powerhouse operating radiology (e.g., Radiology WA, SKG Radiology) alongside pathology. Significantly larger and more diversified, but competes directly in the Australian diagnostic imaging market with similar modality breadth.
