PET in South Australia

6 practices in South Australia are accredited for PET, in four towns and suburbs.

No of them are outside the capital. That leaves large parts of South Australia more than an hour from the nearest one, which is what the town pages below are for.

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

13 towns in South Australia have imaging of their own but no PET. 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 PET include Adelaide, North Adelaide, Kurralta Park and Elizabeth Vale.

The heaviest concentrations are Adelaide (three practices), North Adelaide (one practice), Kurralta Park (one practice) and Elizabeth Vale (one practice). Outside those, most towns with PET have exactly one practice, which is worth knowing when you are weighing a wait against a drive.

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