The GE Healthcare 3T MR750 system was installed last December and began imaging patients in January.  In May the scanner carried out its 1,000th examination.  Investigations include breast, gynaecological and prostate cancers, studies of different neurological conditions, including functional imaging of tumours as well as orthopaedic, cardiac and vascular studies.
