St. Mary's Hospital in London is among the first hospitals in the U.K. to complete a program of MRI upgrades, GE HealthCare has announced.
The hospital, which forms part of the Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, is now able to scan two more patients a day after two months of usage, with scan times being shortened to around 20 minutes, according to GE.
A total of 54 GE HealthCare MR scanners have been upgraded across the U.K., partly funded by NHS England. The upgrade includes GE HealthCare AIR Recon DL, a deep learning-based image reconstruction technology.
