Siemens lands U.K. install

Whitegate Health Centre, a primary care facility for musculoskeletal and neurological services in Blackpool, England, has installed a Magnetom Avanto 1.5 Tesla MRI from Siemens Healthcare.

The new MRI suite is slated to be open five days a week to broaden the range of imaging cases undertaken in the local community, said the company, which added that contrast procedures are beginning to be used and the system could also be used for vascular and aortic screening shortly.

Whitegate was officially opened in November 2009 by U.K. Secretary of State for Health Andy Burnham.
