Nuclear medicine near Scottsdale, TAS

If you need nuclear medicine, it will not be in Scottsdale — nothing here is accredited for it. The closest is I-MED Radiology St Vincents Hospital — Launceston, 44 km away in Launceston — about 52 minutes in the car. After that, the options are I-MED Radiology North West Medical Centre in Burnie (138 km) and I-MED Radiology Calvary Hospital in Lenah Valley (191 km).

Scottsdale has no accredited imaging practice of its own that we can see in the register, so any scan means travelling. The closest imaging of any kind is X-Ray Newstead in Newstead, 43 km away.

To put 44 km in context: of the 185 TAS towns we hold, 43 are further than Scottsdale from a nuclear medicine service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

Tasmania has 5 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 Scottsdale is where it is.

The register has these accreditations running to: I-MED Radiology St Vincents Hospital — Launceston to 31 July 2027, I-MED Radiology North West Medical Centre to 31 July 2027 and I-MED Radiology Calvary Hospital to 30 June 2027. We drop a modality the day its accreditation lapses, so if it is listed above it is current.

Of the five practices listed, all publish a phone number, all have a website and three list opening hours. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
