Toshiba Medical Systems has partnered with a Scottish hospital to establish a maternity scanning service across the region.
Sonographers at Lorn and Islands Hospital will use a Toshiba Aplio 400 ultrasound system and three probes to cover Argyll and Bute, surrounding areas, and Mull and Tiree islands that have more than 350 pregnant women every year.
Until this new local service was launched, some patients had to spend up to four hours traveling to Glasgow for their scans, according to Toshiba.
