Vista’s
state-of-the-art
1.5T Toshiba MRI
is up to 90% quieter
than other scanners,
and is also wider
and shorter, resulting
in a more comfortable
experience for everyone,
especially the larger
patient and those
suffering from claustrophobia.
This, combined with
the high field strength,
provides images
of a high diagnostic
quality.
Our reporting radiologists
with relevant sub-speciality
experience are all
NHS-affiliated.
Vista’s efficient
and cost-effective
service reduces
pressure on the
NHS and provides
patients with a
speedy diagnosis,
meaning that treatment
and/or preventative
measures can be
swiftly implemented. |

Q. Why
should

Vista ensures that your patient receives the MRI scan in a
matter of days – there’s even the possibility for a same-day appointment.
Once the scan is taken, Vista’s specialist NHS-affiliated radiologists produce
the diagnostic report within 24 hours. The report is produced by a radiologist
with the relevant sub-speciality expertise, such as neuro or musculoskeletal.
