PET near Aberdeen, NSW

If you need PET, it will not be in Aberdeen — nothing here is accredited for it. The closest is PRP Diagnostic Imaging East Maitland, 92 km away in East Maitland — about 1 hr 42 min in the car. After that, the options are Hunter Imaging Metford in Metford (94 km) and Hunter New England Imaging - Calvary Mater Newcastle (Waratah) in Waratah (113 km).

26 practices within 200 km of Aberdeen are accredited for PET in total; the five above are the closest by straight-line distance from the centre of town.

Aberdeen has no accredited imaging practice of its own that we can see in the register, so any scan means travelling. The closest imaging of any kind is Alpenglow Muswellbrook Diagnostic Imaging in Muswellbrook, 11 km away.

To put 92 km in context: of the 1544 NSW towns we hold, 147 are further than Aberdeen from a PET service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

Across New South Wales, 42 practices are accredited for PET and 19 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — PET is not spread evenly, and Aberdeen sits in one of the gaps.

Accreditation windows: PRP Diagnostic Imaging East Maitland to 30 November 2027, Hunter Imaging Metford to 31 July 2027 and Hunter New England Imaging - Calvary Mater Newcastle (Waratah) to 31 October 2027. We drop a modality the day its accreditation lapses, so if it is listed above it is current.

Of the five practices listed, all publish a phone number, all have a website and three list opening hours. A phone call before you travel is worth it: a practice can be accredited for a scan and still not run it daily.
