Creating more capacity, shorter waiting times and quicker diagnosis. Meaning quicker clarity and reassurance for patients and loved ones
A capacity increase of 30%. Created from £4 million in 3 years, to bring 2 new uptake rooms and 1 new scanner
The new PET-CT scanner will be there to diagnose, tailor treatment plans, and give the all-important all clear confirmation
A PET-CT Scanner can diagnose and monitor Cancer, Neurological, Rheumatic and Cardiovascular disease.
“A PET-CT scanner is an important piece of equipment. We use it at the start of a cancer treatment to see the extent of the spread and we use it halfway through to see if a treatment has made any difference to the cancers spread. We then scan at the end of treatment to make conclusions.”
You can help RUHX and the Clinical Imaging team make this improvement. We’re asking for your help in raising the £4 million needed to purchase a new PET-CT Scanner machine and build the 2 new lead-lined uptake rooms needed to empower its extra capacity. This machine will transform the care we provide, offering patients and families time together and quicker answers. This isn’t just medical equipment—it’s a lifeline.
