PET near Finley, NSW

Finley does not have a PET scanner. The closest is I-MED Radiology Borella Rd, Albury, 132 km away in Albury — about 2 hr 03 min in the car. After that, the options are Bendigo Radiology Nuclear Medicine in Bendigo (168 km) and I-MED Radiology Wagga Wagga in Wagga Wagga (172 km).

Locally, Finley is covered for x-ray. A referral for that can be done here: everything Finley has.

To put 132 km in context: of the 1544 NSW towns we hold, 80 are further than Finley from a PET service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

132 km is a real trip, not a detail. Before you drive it, it is worth asking two things: whether you qualify for your state's patient travel assistance scheme, which exists for exactly this, and whether anything closer runs a visiting service — some regional hospitals do, on a roster we cannot see in the register.

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 Finley sits in one of the gaps.

Accreditation windows: I-MED Radiology Borella Rd, Albury to 31 July 2027, Bendigo Radiology Nuclear Medicine to 31 July 2027 and I-MED Radiology Wagga Wagga to 31 July 2027. We drop a modality the day its accreditation lapses, so if it is listed above it is current.

Of the three practices listed, all publish a phone number, all have a website and one lists 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.
