We undertake a wide range of examinations, including vascular, gynaecological, GU, gastro, neurological, and musculoskeletal. We have recently introduced an MR Cardiac service and look forward to providing necessary training in the area if needed. Training will be given for more complex or department-specific scans. You will also gain experience in scanning patients with pacemakers and cochlear implants.
