A Toshiba Aquilion 32-slice CT scanner has been installed in a newly refurbished radiology department at Northwick Park and St Mark’s Hospitals in Harrow, Middlesex. The department has undergone a £2.6m facelift, with part of the funds being spent on new equipment. The new CT system is sited at Northwick Park with workstations located at both hospitals.
The Aquilion 32 is sited in an expanding department. CT superintendent radiographer Vicki Miller said: “We were looking for a second machine to complement our existing 64 slice scanner. Having two scanners back-to-back’ in the newly refurbished department has enabled us to cope efficiently with a busy workload.”
