Nuclear medicine near Monto, QLD

Monto does not have a nuclear medicine service. The nearest one is at Wide Bay Nuclear Medicine - Bundaberg in Bundaberg, about 122 km away. After that, the options are I-MED Radiology Bundaberg in Bundaberg (123 km) and I-MED Radiology Rockhampton in The Range (175 km).

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

Monto is not without imaging — x-ray is available in town. The town page lists everything Monto has.

To put 122 km in context: of the 1062 QLD towns we hold, 89 are further than Monto from a nuclear medicine service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

That is a long way to go for a scan, and there is no way to make 122 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 Queensland, 82 practices are accredited for nuclear medicine and 45 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — nuclear medicine is not spread evenly, and Monto sits in one of the gaps.

The register has these accreditations running to: Wide Bay Nuclear Medicine - Bundaberg to 31 July 2027, I-MED Radiology Bundaberg to 30 June 2027 and I-MED Radiology Rockhampton to 30 June 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 three list opening hours. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
