New MRI facility at Bons Tralee
A NEW multi million Euro Diagnostic Imaging Facility has been launched at the Bon Secours Hospital in Tralee.
The upgraded MRI and CT technology at the hospital will offer faster and more comfortable scans for patients with the capability to perform a wider range of CT examinations with a much improved MRI image quality.
Patients from the Kerry region can attend the facility for General X-Ray/Fluoroscopy/Ultrasound/ DEXA/CT. The unit is accessible by GP Referral and fast access and timely appointments are available.
The new facility will be run for the Bon Secours by Alliance Medical, a leading provider of outsourced diagnostic imaging across Europe.
The facility was officially opened on Friday by RTE’s Dáthí Ó Sé who took a break from his Rose of Tralee hosting duties to attend the opening ceremony.
“The delivery of world-class medical treatment is vital to us. It is important therefore when choosing our partners that we work with like-minded organisations,” said Bon Secours Tralee CEO T.J O’Connor.
“Alliance Medical has a proven track record in delivering quality diagnostic imaging solutions throughout Ireland and Europe and we are confident that they will continue to provide high quality and timely MRI and CT services for our patients in Kerry and beyond.”
