PET near Cessnock, NSW

Cessnock has no PET of its own. The closest is PRP Diagnostic Imaging East Maitland, 24 km away in East Maitland — about 36 minutes in the car. After that, the options are Hunter Imaging Metford in Metford (24 km) and Hunter Imaging New Lambton Heights in New Lambton (33 km).

Widen the search to 200 km and there are 33 PET practices; the closest five are above.

Locally, Cessnock is covered for x-ray, ultrasound, CT and MRI. A referral for one of those can be done here: everything Cessnock has.

For scale, 413 of the 1544 towns we hold in NSW sit further from PET than Cessnock does.

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 Cessnock 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 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 three list opening hours. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
