Wide bore MR expands patient services
Siemens Healthcare regional sales manager James Weir and superintendent radiographer Alison Aitchison stand with the Magnetom Aera MR system.
Wishaw General Hospital, part of NHS Lanarkshire in Scotland, has installed a Magnetom Aera MR system from Siemens Healthcare with the aim of expanding services to include gynaecology imaging and volume scans of the head. It will also continue to provide standard procedures along with neurology, musculoskeletal, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) and liver imaging.
The Aera was chosen for its advanced syngo applications and high quality images while rapid examination times have received positive feedback from hospital staff. It was installed as part of a Siemens managed equipment service partnership with Summit Healthcare which takes care of the maintenance, provision and ongoing replacement of all imaging equipment over the lifetime of a contract.
