MRI Update

Here's how MRI Works

We hope you will join us in improving outcomes for 20,000 people with cancer over the next ten years.

Enhanced Treatment

The MRI scanner allows us to view and analyse tumours like never before. This means healthy tissue will be protected from radiation, reducing side effects from radiotherapy.

Increased Precision

The high definition of MRI means that we can be even more confident that the treatment is targeted in the right place, where it will have greatest effect on the tumour.

Additional Treatment Opportunities

It will allow more people to access new and emerging treatments that require a specifically accurate image of the tumour to work effectively.

I know the past 12 months have been tough for everyone, but I really hope that you are as excited as I am at the prospect of bringing some hope to those dealing with a cancer diagnosis, through these challenging times and beyond.

Eithne MacPherson, Head of Therapeutic Radiography, The Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre
