Designed to deliver approximately 97,000 tests annually, the centre will help reduce waiting times and improve patient experience by offering state-of-the-art imaging services, including the latest in open MRI technology.
As part of this commitment to enhancing diagnostic capabilities, the CDC features the Magnifico™ Open MRI system, supplied by Esaote, a global leader in medical imaging. Unlike traditional closed MRI scanners, Magnifico™ offers a more open and patient-friendly design, reducing anxiety for claustrophobic patients and improving accessibility for individuals with mobility challenges. The system delivers high-quality musculoskeletal imaging, ensuring accurate and efficient diagnoses while enhancing patient comfort.
The centre is part of a wider initiative by the University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust (UHDB) to bring diagnostic testing closer to communities, reducing travel time for patients and alleviating pressure on hospital services. By integrating innovative technologies like Esaote’s open MRI, the CDC is improving healthcare access and efficiency for patients in Ilkeston and beyond.
