Nuclear medicine near Lithgow, NSW

Lithgow has no nuclear medicine of its own. The closest is Prp Diagnostic Imaging-Bathurst, 53 km away in Bathurst — about 50 minutes in the car. After that, the options are Precision Imaging Partners Penrith in Penrith (60 km) and Castlereagh Imaging Nepean Health Hub in Kingswood (60 km).

84 practices within 200 km of Lithgow are accredited for nuclear medicine in total; the five above are the closest by straight-line distance from the centre of town.

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

To put 53 km in context: of the 1544 NSW towns we hold, 125 are further than Lithgow 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 Lithgow sits in one of the gaps.

Accreditation windows: Prp Diagnostic Imaging-Bathurst to 31 May 2027, Precision Imaging Partners Penrith to 31 August 2027 and Castlereagh Imaging Nepean Health Hub to 31 July 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 two list opening hours. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
