Nuclear medicine near Inverell, NSW

Inverell has no nuclear medicine of its own. The nearest one is at I-MED Radiology Armidale in Armidale, about 97 km away, roughly 1 hr 36 min by road. After that, the options are Castlereagh Imaging Tamworth (now Hunter Imaging, Sonic Healthcare) in Tamworth (147 km) and Grafton Nuclear Medicine & Endocrinology in Grafton (176 km).

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

To put 97 km in context: of the 1544 NSW towns we hold, 58 are further than Inverell from a nuclear medicine service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

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 Inverell sits in one of the gaps.

Accreditation windows: I-MED Radiology Armidale to 31 July 2027, Castlereagh Imaging Tamworth (now Hunter Imaging, Sonic Healthcare) to 31 August 2027 and Grafton Nuclear Medicine & Endocrinology to 31 August 2027. We drop a modality the day its accreditation lapses, so if it is listed above it is current.

Of the four practices listed, all publish a phone number, all have a website and two 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.
