PET near Mansfield, VIC

Mansfield does not have a PET scanner. The nearest one is at Lumus Imaging Epping in Epping, about 116 km away, roughly 2 hr 14 min by road. After that, the options are Northern Health (Northern Imaging Victoria) — Epping in Epping (116 km) and Lumus Imaging Knox Private Hospital in Wantirna (117 km).

There are 23 PET practices within 200 km of Mansfield altogether — the five listed are simply the nearest.

Locally, Mansfield is covered for x-ray and ultrasound. A referral for one of those can be done here: everything Mansfield has.

For scale, 105 of the 850 towns we hold in VIC sit further from PET than Mansfield does.

A 116 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 Mansfield — rosters like that do not appear in the accreditation 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 Mansfield sits in one of the gaps.

Accreditation windows: Lumus Imaging Epping to 30 November 2027, Northern Health (Northern Imaging Victoria) — Epping to 30 November 2026 and Lumus Imaging Knox Private Hospital to 31 July 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. A phone call before you travel is worth it: a practice can be accredited for a scan and still not run it daily.
