Montefiore Hospital prepares for cardiac imaging ambitions
At Montefiore Hospital are, back row, senior radiographers Diana Duhig and Basil Richmond, radiography assistant Sylwester Zasko and senior radiographers Michelle Perry and Tracey Smith. In front are Siemens Healthcare regional sales manager Vince Golledge and diagnostics imaging manager Jo Bond.
The Montefiore Hospital in Brighton, part of Spire Healthcare Group, has installed a Magnetom Aera MRI scanner and Somatom Definition AS CT system from Siemens Healthcare to enable the provision of musculoskeletal and oncology imaging services. They will also support the hospital’s ambitions for extended cardiac imaging capabilities.
The hospital opened at the end of 2012 and diagnostic imaging manger Jo Bond said: “As a new private hospital we had a blank canvas to select the appropriate MRI and CT systems that best suited our patients. The systems from Siemens Healthcare fit the bill for our musculoskeletal and oncology services and will help us future proof our planned expanded capacity for cardiac imaging. Our radiologists have praised the image quality of the systems, with the Aera’s output being compared by some to those of a 3.0T system.”
