SPECT/CT Scan: cost, referral & preparation
Cost & bulk billing
Doctor-referred SPECT/CT scans are generally Medicare-eligible, and many nuclear medicine providers bulk bill them. Confirm the expected cost when you book.
Referral & Medicare
A referral from your GP or specialist is required. SPECT/CT is performed at nuclear medicine departments and specialised imaging clinics, so it is less widely available than standard CT.
Preparing for your SPECT/CT scan
- Preparation varies by scan. Your clinic will give you specific instructions when you book.
- Expect a longer visit: SPECT/CT involves a tracer injection and often a waiting period before imaging.
- Wear comfortable clothing without metal.
- Tell the clinic if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

How long does a SPECT/CT take?
It varies by study. Including tracer injection and any uptake waiting time, allow one to several hours. Your clinic will advise the exact schedule when you book.
