Radiology Refurbishment Project

Work is underway to refurbish our radiology department. The refurbishment will support us to provide quality diagnostics and procedures now and in the future for a range of conditions, including heart disease, emergency services and cancers. 

Work completed as at July 2022:

• We've replaced our angiography unit(external link) and upgraded the room with new paint and vinyl flooring
• We've refurbished three Digital Radiography rooms (formerly X-ray rooms), including optimising the layout to improve flow and better accommodate beds and stretchers, as well as new paint and vinyl flooring
• We've also upgraded the equipment in all three Digital Radiography rooms(external link) - these now have state-of-the-art Philips Digital Diagnost C90 equipment
• Replacing the fluroscopy unit(external link)
• We've made a major software upgrade and minor hardware upgrade to our existing MRI machine.
