PET near Leeton, NSW

Leeton does not have a PET scanner. The nearest one is at I-MED Radiology Wagga Wagga in Wagga Wagga, about 107 km away, roughly 1 hr 44 min by road. After that, the options are I-MED Radiology Borella Rd, Albury in Albury (177 km).

Leeton is not without imaging — x-ray, ultrasound and CT are available in town. The town page lists everything Leeton has.

For scale, 114 of the 1544 towns we hold in NSW sit further from PET than Leeton does.

That is a long way to go for a scan, and there is no way to make 107 km shorter. Two things are worth knowing: every state and territory runs a patient travel assistance scheme for people who have to travel for care, and the local health service or your referring doctor can tell you whether you qualify. Some regional hospitals also run visiting services on a roster, which the accreditation register cannot show us — worth one phone call before you plan the trip.

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 Leeton sits in one of the gaps.

The register has these accreditations running to: I-MED Radiology Wagga Wagga to 31 July 2027 and I-MED Radiology Borella Rd, Albury 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.
