Rochester 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 I-MED Radiology Echuca in Echuca, 25 km away.

To put 25 km in context: of the 850 VIC towns we hold, 226 are further than Rochester from a nuclear medicine service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

Across Victoria, 63 practices are accredited for nuclear medicine and 15 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — nuclear medicine is not spread evenly, and Rochester sits in one of the gaps.

Current Medicare accreditation runs: I-MED Radiology Echuca to 31 October 2027, Bendigo Radiology Hamilton to 31 August 2027 and 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 five practices listed, all publish a phone number, all have a website and four list opening hours. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.

scanfinder shows you where imaging is available. Your doctor decides which scan you need — you'll need a referral for all of these.

About nuclear medicine. Nuclear medicine uses a small amount of a radioactive tracer, so it needs a licensed department rather than a general imaging room. 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.
