We are a medical charity helping people affected by cancer, dementia and other conditions. Our sophisticated and innovative scanning equipment uses the latest technology. Each year we provide diagnostic imaging for over 65,000 patients at our Imaging Centres in Cheltenham and Birmingham and through our fleet of six mobile MRI scanners that travel throughout the three counties (Gloucestershire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire) and beyond.
We focus on offering equipment and services not generally available within the NHS. Our unique Imaging Centre in Cheltenham houses the UK's first high field Open MRI scanner, designed for claustrophobic and larger patients, a high definition 3.0 Tesla MRI scanner, a state-of-the-art PET/CT scanner and the worldβs first open extremity Cone Beam CT scanner. The mobile MRI fleet includes two of Europe's first and only 3.0 Tesla MRI scanners and new 1.5 Tesla wide bore MRI systems. These units have been built to improve patient comfort, enable shorter scanning times and deliver superior image quality.
We invest in research, equipment and education which aim to deliver improvements in clinical diagnosis in the future. We work closely with the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham to deliver a state-of-the-art imaging centre primarily for research scanning for the Institute of Translational Medicine. The centre includes a high definition 3.0 Tesla MRI scanner.
We deliver a programme of local, national and international training and education events for medical professionals.
Our Cancer Prevention Team visit schools, colleges, business, social clubs and community groups within the Three Counties to discuss preventative measures and to raise awareness of how early detection can improve outcomes.
