Nuclear medicine near Peterborough, SA

If you need nuclear medicine, it will not be in Peterborough — nothing here is accredited for it. The closest is Jones Radiology-Whyalla, 118 km away in Whyalla. After that, the options are Radiology SA Elizabeth Vale in Elizabeth Vale (198 km) and Radiology SA Elizabeth Vale in Elizabeth Vale (199 km).

Locally, Peterborough is covered for x-ray. A referral for that can be done here: everything Peterborough has.

To put 118 km in context: of the 515 SA towns we hold, 50 are further than Peterborough from a nuclear medicine service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

A 118 km trip is a day out of your life, not an errand. Ask your referring doctor about the patient travel assistance scheme in your state, and ask the nearest hospital whether a visiting service ever covers Peterborough — rosters like that do not appear in the accreditation register.

South Australia has 19 nuclear medicine practices in total, 2 of them outside the capital. The machines cluster where the population is, which is why the nearest one to Peterborough is where it is.

Accreditation windows: Jones Radiology-Whyalla to 31 October 2027, Radiology SA Elizabeth Vale to 31 May 2027 and Radiology SA Elizabeth Vale to 30 June 2027. We drop a modality the day its accreditation lapses, so if it is listed above it is current.

Of the three 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.
