Nuclear medicine near Parkes, NSW

Parkes has no nuclear medicine of its own. The closest is Prp Diagnostic Imaging-Orange, 87 km away in Orange — about 82 minutes in the car. After that, the options are PRP Diagnostic Imaging Dubbo in Dubbo (106 km) and Lumus Imaging Dubbo in Dubbo (107 km).

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

For scale, 68 of the 1544 towns we hold in NSW sit further from nuclear medicine than Parkes 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 Parkes sits in one of the gaps.

The register has these accreditations running to: Prp Diagnostic Imaging-Orange to 31 October 2027, PRP Diagnostic Imaging Dubbo to 31 May 2027 and Lumus Imaging Dubbo to 30 November 2026. 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 one lists 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.
