The ACT Government has committed funding to boost diagnostic capabilities.
These improved medical imaging services will add to the state-of-the-art health services Canberra Health Services (CHS) is delivering to patients in the ACT and surrounding regions. It is another example of CHS’s commitment to deliver patient-centred care in high-quality, modern facilities with exceptional clinical expertise.
This project is part of the $5 billion of infrastructure spending the ACT Government is delivering across the Territory to support Canberra’s economic recovery.
Medical Imaging Services in Building 12, Canberra Hospital expanded
The ACT Government has improved diagnostic capabilities at Canberra Hospital in response to population growth, technology developments and advances in clinical practice.
The Medical Imaging Department at Canberra Hospital now has a new Computed Tomography (CT) scanner and a 3T Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanner, replacing aged CT and MRI scanner.
This new high-tech medical machinery will result in the following benefits:
- Reduced patient waiting times for diagnostic imaging services
- Access to latest in diagnostic imaging technology and techniques
- Improved patient outcomes through faster scanning times and improved image quality
- Improved patient flow throughout hospital; and
- Improved access for registrar training and support.
