Dr. James Clarke, Department Head, was recently interviewed by CTV News about Nova Scotia's new relocatable MRI.
"Nova Scotia will be getting a new high-tech MRI which could increase the number of scans available to patients.
Fully funded by the QEII Foundation, the $4 million MRI found outside the Bayers Lake Outpatient Clinic will be the first of its kind in the country.
The container-like structure will soon be available to patients, allowing for scans to take place with very little infrastructure costs or limitations. The compact design allows for it to be picked up and put on a flatbed truck to be taken to different provinces. "
