Presently, it maintains a heavy volume of MRI cases requiring extra staff time and protracted client wait times for imaging procedures.
The new second MRI suite addition is located across the corridor from the existing Radiology Department on an existing roof just above the hospital’s main loading dock and materials handeling department located on the first floor. Proximity to the existing MRI was important.
This new suite is intended to house a larger MRI unit piece of equipment (3.0 Tesla) with appropriate RF and Gauss line shielding. It was also designed with future build out space for an addition MRI unit and suite n the future.
