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.
