Scunthorpe Hospital were excited to announce their new MRI scanner that arrived earlier this week.
The state-of-the-art equipment is part of a 4.6 million pound project to extend the MRI unit.
The machine will double scanning capacity at the hospital and will end the practice of having to send some patients to Grimsby for a scan.
An improved and quicker service
Director of Estates and Facilities, Jug Johal, said:
“This was a really exciting development in the £4.6 million extension of our Scunthorpe MRI suite, which is a key aspect of our ongoing work to improve our buildings and facilities on the site.”
He went on to say:
“Having this additional scanner in place will enable us to offer you a vastly improved service.
“It will double our scanning capacity at Scunthorpe, allowing our specialist clinicians to see you more quickly, diagnose and monitor conditions and get you the treatment you need."
