The Air Recon Deep Learning (ARDL) software was installed on the hospitals’ existing MRI machines.<\/p>\n
Staff said the software was cutting between 10 and 15 minutes from average scan times. <\/p>\n
A routine MRI head scan used to take 30 minutes but now takes 20, the trust said, while a prostate scan now takes 30 minutes instead of 45. <\/p>\n
The trust added it can now scan 31 lumber spine patients over a 12 hour period, instead of 21 before.<\/p>\n
Ms Bunker said: “People who struggle with claustrophobia or those with learning disabilities, who previously couldn’t tolerate a scan, are finding they are able to endure the shorter scan times.”<\/p>\n
Staff also reported fewer children needed to have a general anaesthetic to get through a scan.<\/p>\n
