There are two accredited practices in Douglas; which one suits you is a question of hours, wait and what they charge, not of accreditation.

If this one does not suit, Queensland X-Ray Douglas Discovery Rise is 1 km away in Douglas. North Queensland X-Ray Services (Aitkenvale/Townsville) in Aitkenvale is the next closest at 3 km. North Queensland X-Ray Services (Kirwan) is 3 km away in Kirwan. A referral is not usually tied to a single practice — ask if you would rather go elsewhere.

What we hold about this site comes from the Medicare LSPN register, healthdirect's directory and healthdirect's directory, plus the practice's own website.

A PET scan is the scarcest scan in Australia — the scanners sit almost entirely in capital cities and a handful of large regional hospitals.
