Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (OUH), in partnership with Ergéa UK, has completed a major upgrade to diagnostic imaging services at John Radcliffe Hospital, marking a significant milestone in OUH’s long-term programme to modernise radiology equipment, enhance patient care, and improve clinical outcomes.
Delivered through a Managed Equipment Service (MES) agreement with Ergéa UK, the project included the installation of two cutting-edge systems – a GE Artist Evo MRI scanner and a GE SPECT/CT gamma camera – alongside a full refurbishment of the Nuclear Medicine Department. These advanced upgrades are already creating a more modern, efficient, and patient-focused environment, enhancing both clinical workflows and the overall patient experience.
Watch how these advanced imaging systems are transforming patient care at John Radcliffe Hospital:
Advanced Radiology Services for Faster, More Accurate Diagnoses
The GE Artist Evo MRI scanner now supports up to 600 patients per month, enabling faster scans, more accurate diagnoses, and enhanced patient comfort – particularly for neurological patients where precision and reduced scan times are critical. The new GE SPECT/CT gamma camera, combined with the refurbished Nuclear Medicine Department, significantly expands OUH’s diagnostic capabilities, offering precise imaging for oncology and paediatric patients in a brighter, more welcoming environment.
These new imaging facilities are a fantastic step forward for our patients and staff. They not only improve the quality and speed of diagnosis but also help us create a more comfortable and efficient experience for everyone who uses our services. This ongoing project reflects our ongoing commitment to modern, high-quality care across our hospitals, and we are pleased to be working alongside Ergéa UK to help us deliver this.”
