Island Health has doubled the capacity of the existing MRI suite capacity at NRGH with the addition of a new Siemens MRI Scanner. The new scanner was located in a new extension to the hospital.
Evolve provided electrical, communications and security system upgrades to the $5.5 million project. The MRI improves access to medical diagnostic services for the mid-island region, and is used to diagnose a number of medical conditions, including abnormalities of the brain, as well as tumours, cysts and soft-tissue injuries in other parts of the body.
