The Neuroradiology
Department
Sited adjacent to WNC, the Neuroradiology department contains a purpose-built MR suite housing
2 Siemens scanners, one 1.5T and one 3T, along with dedicated facilities for paediatric general
anaesthesia. The MR scanners are being renewed in late 2024. A Siemens Edge Plus CT Scanner is
also located within the department.
There is a dedicated neurointerventional biplanar
angiography suite, with a second angiography room
installed to support the mechanical thrombectomy
service.
Within the main Radiology department, there is a new
suite of 3 Siemens MR scanners (two 1.5T and one 3T)
which has just opened, and 3 additional CT scanners, on
which some neuroimaging is also undertaken. In
addition, an intraoperative MRI is due to be installed in a
new theatre suite.
Radiographers are shared across Neuroradiology and the
remainder of Cross-Sectional Imaging. Radiographic
advanced practice is encouraged and supported across
the Radiology Care Group. We have a reporting
radiographer specializing in CT head reporting, with
another in training.
