The register has these accreditations running to: Hunter Imaging Gateshead PET and MRI Centre to 31 August 2027, I-MED Radiology Kanwal to 30 June 2027 and Hunter Imaging New Lambton Heights 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 four 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.
scanfinder shows you where imaging is available. Your doctor decides which scan you need — you'll need a referral for all of these.
About PET. A PET scan is the scarcest scan in Australia — the scanners sit almost entirely in capital cities and a handful of large regional hospitals. Accreditation means a practice meets the Medicare requirements for it — it is not a ranking, and we publish no ratings. Distances are straight-line from the centre of the town, so the drive is a little longer.
