Yuma Hospital and Clinics has taken delivery of its brand-new MRI unit — a major milestone in the hospital’s ongoing imaging suite project.
Crews began installing the advanced scanner on Monday, October 13th, and the final steps are being completed. That includes reinstalling the tilt panel, completing wall shielding, and finishing cabinetry around the machine.
Once construction wraps up, the hospital will activate the new system’s chiller to power up the magnet — the heart of the MRI. From there, engineers will calibrate and test the unit to ensure it delivers the highest-quality images possible.
Hospital staff will also undergo applications training to make full use of the scanner’s technology.
The new MRI is expected to be ready for patients starting October 31st. Officials say it will significantly expand access to advanced diagnostic imaging close to home, reducing the need for local residents to travel long distances for scans.
