About these results

What Palm Island does have locally is x-ray and ultrasound. If your referral is for one of those, you do not need to leave town — see everything Palm Island has.
For scale, 184 of the 1062 towns we hold in QLD sit further from PET than Palm Island does.
Across Queensland, 37 practices are accredited for PET and 23 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — PET is not spread evenly, and Palm Island sits in one of the gaps.
Current Medicare accreditation runs: Queensland X-Ray Mater Hyde Park to 30 June 2027 and The Townsville Hospital/Radiology Dept to 30 September 2026. We drop a modality the day its accreditation lapses, so if it is listed above it is current.
Of the two 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.
scanfinder shows you where imaging is available. Your doctor decides which scan you need — you'll need a referral for all of these.
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.
