Elizabeth Stevens, a patient suffering from facial pain, became the first to benefit from a £2 million investment in the BMI The Harbour Alliance MRI and CT Centre at BMI The Harbour Hospital in Poole, through a partnership with Alliance Medical.

Consultant radiologist Dr Alistair Thomson said: “My colleagues and I are very excited to be imaging our patients with the latest technology. These systems allow us to scan patients faster while also providing a more comfortable environment for those in need of high quality diagnostic imaging.”
