About PET. A PET scan is the scarcest scan in Australia — the scanners sit almost entirely in capital cities and a handful of large regional hospitals. 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.
