Euromedic Ireland, one of Ireland’s leading diagnostic healthcare providers, has installed the latest in MRI and CT technology at two of its newly-upgraded facilities in Northwood and Dundrum.

The first of its kind in Ireland, the Magnetom Verio from Siemens is a high-field, 3.0 Tesla MRI system that can be used in neurology and functional neuro evaluation, orthopaedic and cartilage assessment, breast, vascular and cardiac imaging.

With the strongest magnet field strength used clinically today, the Verio is installed in the Northwood facility.
