Northwest Referrals in Wigan has upgraded its veterinary MRI scanner to an Esaote Vet Grande. Managing director James Weston said: “Our current Esaote scanner was the single most reliable piece of kit in the practice, with very few faults or breakdowns in the 16 years it has been used. We wanted to increase the throughput on the MRI and this enables us to not raise the cost to our customers, even with the expenditure of the new scanner. Our aim was to improve image quality and scan times significantly with the new scanner, which it has proved to do.”
