Royal Bolton CDC extends access to care with 80,000 more diagnostic tests a year
Bolton NHS Foundation Trust has welcomed its first patients to a new community diagnostic centre (CDC) where 80,000 diagnostic tests and scans will be carried out each year. It is equipped with the latest MRI, CT, x-ray and ultrasound technology from Siemens Healthineers and will provide care ranging from diagnostic imaging to phlebotomy, supporting patients on elective care journeys and those referred for cancer diagnosis. Thousands of patients across Greater Manchester are expected to benefit from the accessibility of vital, potentially life- saving diagnostic tests and scans.
Among the equipment is a Magnetom Altea MRI system equipped with Deep Resolve AI technology, providing staff with accelerated workflows and enhancing clinical performance. Two Somatom X.cite CTs, a Ysio X.pree x-ray and two Acuson Sequoia ultrasound systems from Siemens have also been installed.
