Nuclear medicine in South Australia

There are 19 nuclear medicine practices in South Australia, across eleven towns and suburbs.

two sit beyond the capital's ring. That leaves large parts of South Australia more than an hour from the nearest one, which is what the town pages below are for.

Nuclear medicine uses a small amount of a radioactive tracer, so it needs a licensed department rather than a general imaging room.

20 towns in South Australia have imaging of their own but no nuclear medicine. Each of those has a page giving the nearest machine and the distance from that town — that is the number that decides whether the scan happens.

The towns and suburbs with nuclear medicine include Adelaide, North Adelaide, Morphett Vale, Elizabeth Vale, Modbury, Salisbury, Mount Gambier and Ashford.

The heaviest concentrations are Adelaide (five practices), North Adelaide (three practices), Morphett Vale (two practices), Elizabeth Vale (two practices) and Modbury (one practice). Outside those, most towns with nuclear medicine have exactly one practice, which is worth knowing when you are weighing a wait against a drive.

You will not find a price for nuclear medicine here — nobody publishes one reliably. Location, accreditation and distance are what we can stand behind.
