CT near St George, QLD

St George does not have a CT scanner. The nearest one is at Alpenglow Roma Diagnostic Imaging in Roma, about 154 km away, roughly 2 hr 53 min by road. After that, the options are Alpenglow Goondiwindi Diagnostic Imaging in Goondiwindi (179 km).

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

To put 154 km in context: of the 1062 QLD towns we hold, 24 are further than St George from a CT 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 154 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.

Queensland has 308 CT practices in total, 170 of them outside the capital. The machines cluster where the population is, which is why the nearest one to St George is where it is.

The register has these accreditations running to: Alpenglow Roma Diagnostic Imaging to 31 October 2027 and Alpenglow Goondiwindi Diagnostic Imaging to 30 November 2027. 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 none publishes opening hours we could confirm. A phone call before you travel is worth it: a practice can be accredited for a scan and still not run it daily.
