PET near Scottsdale, TAS

If you need PET, it will not be in Scottsdale — nothing here is accredited for it. The nearest one is at I-MED Radiology St Vincents Hospital — Launceston in Launceston, about 44 km away, roughly 52 minutes by road. After that, the options are Qscan Hobart (PET-CT) in Hobart (192 km) and Royal Hobart Hospital Medical Imaging in Hobart (192 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.

For scale, 69 of the 185 towns we hold in TAS sit further from PET than Scottsdale does.

Across Tasmania, 3 practices are accredited for PET and 1 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — PET is not spread evenly, and Scottsdale sits in one of the gaps.

The register has these accreditations running to: I-MED Radiology St Vincents Hospital — Launceston to 31 July 2027, Qscan Hobart (PET-CT) to 31 October 2027 and Royal Hobart Hospital Medical Imaging to 30 November 2026. 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 one lists opening hours. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
