A CT scanner was once a luxury only available to the teaching hospitals! Today it is used in all acute hospitals and is essential in the diagnosis of many different types of illnesses and injuries. It is more sophisticated than the traditional X-ray, displaying a much clearer image of the area being examined. In view of this, more and more scans are being requested, particularly urgent cancer related scans. This means that the less urgent and routine scans are not seen as quickly as the radiologists would wish. Currently we scan in the region of 1000 patients per month with many having multiple areas of interest.

The current CT Scanner is one of the busiest in the country and a second is desperately needed.
