US-based Beacon Health System has completed the construction of MRI Center at Beacon Granger Hospital in Granger, Indiana, US.

The $4.8m outpatient MRI Centre is located on the west side of the hospital and can be accessed from the hospital’s main entrance at 3220 Beacon Parkway.

The 3,600m2 centre will provide advanced MRI scanning capabilities, including a wide-bore scanner that offers more space for patients undergoing the scan.

According to Beacon, its new MRI system will offer enhanced patient comfort by minimising claustrophobia. This system is also said to feature high magnet strength that will help bring down procedure times.

Beacon imaging services director Derek Taylor said: “We decided to locate the MRI Center at Beacon Granger to offer our patients a convenient location in an outpatient setting.
