After months of planning, Avicenna Clinic now houses the top of the range Hitachi Open MRI Scanner and patients will benefit from this highly in-demand facility this autumn.

The facility is the first of its kind in the region.

The clinic’s Hitachi Open MRI facility is particularly useful for patients who suffer from claustrophobia or obesity. Patients benefit from MRI scanning technology without experiencing unnecessary anxiety or physical discomfort associated with the more usual enclosed imaging systems which typically have a tunnel-like scanning area.

Dr Hany Elmadbouh, lead consultant and radiologist, said: “I am delighted that the Hitachi top of the range Open Scanner has been successfully installed in the practice.

“Avicenna Clinic will be a centre of excellence, specialising in minimally invasive surgery, imaging and image-guided intervention techniques. Being the first clinic in the region to have an Open MRI Scanner is just one example of the way we will be using the latest technology to provide the highest level of patient care here at the clinic.”
