A Wirral cancer hospital is set to become the first in the UK to have a 'state-of-the-art' scanner providing 'vastly improved imaging and a better patient experience' installed.
A PET-CT scanner at The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre in Wirral was launched in March 2016 and is scanned its final patients last week before it was retired.
It will be replaced with a Siemens Biograph Trinion PET-CT scanner, which boasts 'the very latest technology' and will be ready for operation in spring next year.
It means that tor the next few months, there will be no PET-CT scans at CCC-Wirral. Scans will continue to be available at CCC-Liverpool or Royal Liverpool University Hospital while work takes place to prepare for the Wirral site's new machine.
