The introduction of a hybrid scanner at Queen's Hospital in Romford allows for quicker, more accurate diagnoses, combining nuclear medicine and CT scans for enhanced imaging.
According to Karen Gannon, the trust's head of nuclear medicine, the new hybrid scanner offers detailed imaging, providing medical clinicians with a comprehensive view of patients' conditions.
Hornchurch FC chairman Alex Sharp formally switched on the scanner, noting its significance as the only one of its kind in NHS hospitals in London.
The combined scanner reduces the duration of cardiology scans for heart patients from around 20 minutes to less than ten, aiding in diagnosis and treatment.
