  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) units

    MRI is an imaging technique designed to visualise internal structures of the body using magnetic and electromagnetic fields which induce a resonance effect of hydrogen atoms.

  • Mammography machines

    Number of dedicated mammography machines (those designed exclusively for taking mammograms).
