Patients are now able to get specialist cardiac MRI scans at NHS Forth Valley instead of having to travel to Edinburgh or Glasgow thanks to a new service at the health board.
Radiographers have been working hard to secure top-class imaging facilities in the region, supported by colleagues from the West of Scotland Regional Heart and Lung Centre based at the Golden Jubilee University National Hospital in Clydebank.
The Centre has provided specialist training for a number of NHS Forth Valley radiographers, helping them to gain valuable knowledge and experience which they have used to develop the new local service.
