About these results
No practice in Kerang is accredited for PET. The closest is Bendigo Radiology Nuclear Medicine, 117 km away in Bendigo — about 1 hr 41 min in the car. It is the only PET service within 200 km of Kerang.
Locally, Kerang is covered for x-ray and ultrasound. A referral for one of those can be done here: everything Kerang has.
To put 117 km in context: of the 850 VIC towns we hold, 104 are further than Kerang from a PET service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.
117 km is a real trip, not a detail. Before you drive it, it is worth asking two things: whether you qualify for your state's patient travel assistance scheme, which exists for exactly this, and whether anything closer runs a visiting service — some regional hospitals do, on a roster we cannot see in the register.
Across Victoria, 23 practices are accredited for PET and 5 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — PET is not spread evenly, and Kerang sits in one of the gaps.
Accreditation windows: Bendigo Radiology Nuclear Medicine to 31 July 2027. We drop a modality the day its accreditation lapses, so if it is listed above it is current.
Of the one practice 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.
scanfinder shows you where imaging is available. Your doctor decides which scan you need — you'll need a referral for all of these.
About PET. A PET scan is the scarcest scan in Australia — the scanners sit almost entirely in capital cities and a handful of large regional hospitals. Accreditation means a practice meets the Medicare requirements for it — it is not a ranking, and we publish no ratings. Distances are straight-line from the centre of the town, so the drive is a little longer.
