The University of Salford has officially launched a suite of hi-tech scanners that will help train its next generation of radiographers to produce high quality images.

The launch of the university’s Susan Hall Imaging Facilities means that Salford is now one of a few universities in the UK to have a CT scanner to train radiography students in diagnostic scanning and research techniques.

The event – attended by more than 60 high-profile radiography experts – saw the unveiling of a £300,000 Toshiba Aquilion CT scanner and two computed radiography x-ray rooms.
