The first patients have been scanned on our brand new PET-CT scanner, which was recently installed at Paul Strickland Scanner Centre.

The new scanner is called Vision 600 and was made possible thanks to the generosity of our fundraisers and donors. It scans so rapidly that it has replaced two older machines.

Taking advantage of the new scanner’s capabilities has involved significant remodelling of our clinical areas, as well as addition of a brand new patient waiting room and consultant reporting suite.

The new PET-CT scanner is the latest addition to our fleet of new machines, after two very advanced new MRI scanners were installed during 2022.

In addition to being faster than the scanners it replaces, the new machine is more comfortable for patients and is capable of providing higher quality scan images — potentially paving the way for a more accurate diagnosis.
