Brighton and Hove Albion Football Club chairman Tony Bloom has opened a scanning facility at Brighton and Sussex Medical School, which will offer opportunities for research and treatment.
A 3.0T MRI scanner from Siemens Healthineers was winched by crane into the Clinical Imaging Sciences Centre (CISC) at the medical school earlier this year and the scanner was officially launched in October.
CISC academic director Professor Mara Cercignani said: “Our new MRI facility will allow researchers at the medical school, along with our colleagues at the University of Sussex and the University of Brighton, to further develop our groundbreaking research, truly bringing it into the premiership’. Not only that, but we will now be able to scan local patients for a wider range of conditions such as prostate cancer.”
