A new waiting room and high-tech PET-CT scanner suite were officially opened at Paul Strickland Scanner Centre during September.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony marked the conclusion of a multimillion-pound investment in Paul Strickland Scanner Centre, made possible by charitable donations from supporters, fundraisers, and donors. Since 2022, the centre has added two new MRI scanners, a new PET-CT scanner, a new waiting room, and a new reporting room, along with a very advanced radiology information system for the team of expert consultants who analyse the scans.
The new scanners, operated by our team of specialist radiographers, are equipped with the latest imaging technology and can produce higher quality images more quickly than the previous machines. This allows more patients to be scanned in a given time and can provide doctors with better information about a patient’s condition, which can pave the way for more effective treatment and monitoring of their cancer.
In a heartfelt speech during the event, Paul Strickland Scanner Centre CEO Claire Strickland paid tribute to the donors, fundraisers, and other supporters who made the upgrade possible. She said: “The level of investment we have been able to make would not have been possible without the generosity and hard work of our supporters. Our team at Paul Strickland Scanner Centre enjoys a worldwide reputation for excellence in cancer imaging, and charitable giving makes this possible.”
