Sara Elliott, head of medical imaging at DBTH, said: ‘The medical imaging service has seen significant investment this year, enhancing both capacity and capability across our diagnostic services. These developments mean we can offer more appointments within modern and comfortable surroundings.'

Dr Kirsty Edmondson Jones, director of infrastructure at DBTH, said: ‘This investment in medical imaging has modernised our facilities, ensuring we provide the best possible care environments and improved outcomes for our patients and communities as outlined within our Healthier Together strategy.'

Earlier this year, Montagu Hospital saw the completion of a new imaging suite as part of the Montagu community diagnostic centre, providing capacity for 60,000 appointments across ultrasound, CT and MRI services. The site has also benefitted from the refurbishment of X-ray and DEXA rooms.
