Gunnedah is not without imaging — x-ray, ultrasound and CT are available in town. The town page lists everything Gunnedah has.
For scale, 104 of the 1544 towns we hold in NSW sit further from nuclear medicine than Gunnedah does.
Across New South Wales, 103 practices are accredited for nuclear medicine and 42 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — nuclear medicine is not spread evenly, and Gunnedah sits in one of the gaps.
The register has these accreditations running to: Castlereagh Imaging Tamworth (now Hunter Imaging, Sonic Healthcare) to 31 August 2027 and I-MED Radiology Armidale to 31 July 2027. We drop a modality the day its accreditation lapses, so if it is listed above it is current.
Of the two practices listed, all publish a phone number, all have a website and one lists opening hours. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
scanfinder shows you where imaging is available. Your doctor decides which scan you need — you'll need a referral for all of these.
About nuclear medicine. Nuclear medicine uses a small amount of a radioactive tracer, so it needs a licensed department rather than a general imaging room. 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.
