About Us

The Open MRI is one part of the CT and MRI Department, and is staffed by a small dedicated, highly skilled team of Radiographers and support staff. The scans are reported by one of the 6 Consultant Radiologists who provide a quality Diagnostic service.

The Open MRI service at Burton started in 1999, over 11 years ago. Since the arrival of the first machine we have performed thousands of MRI examinations on patients.

A new 1.5 Tesla (high powered) scanner designed for the large or claustrophobic patient was installed August 2010; replacing the old 0.35 Tesla Open scanner.

We cater for both NHS and Private Patients in a relaxed and friendly environment.
