MRI scanner an asset at Leicester hospital
Alliance Medical unit manager Mike Chevins and Midlands senior operations manager Claire Watkiss with Nuffield Health Leicester Hospital director Matthew Cook, Leicester City midfielder Matty James and Alliance Medical director of operations statics Mike Fox-Davies.
Leicester City midfielder Matty James was the special guest at a ceremony to unveil an MRI scanning facility at Nuffield Health Leicester Hospital. He cut the ribbon on the new GE450W Optima MRI scanner with GEM coil technology, part of a £1.1 million refurbishment project being undertaken by the hospital in partnership with Alliance Medical.
The equipment was chosen for its design which helps improve patient comfort, reduce claustrophobia and accommodate a variety of body shapes, sizes and clinical conditions. It also has the ability to undertake complex imaging of organs and tissues with increased resolutions.
Hospital director Matthew Cook said: “The scanner is a great asset to the hospital and will enhance the diagnostic capabilities that we provide to our patients. Having access to high quality images will help us support clinical decision-making while providing a more comfortable experience for patients.”
