Gold Standard Phantoms: Ensuring Best Image Quality for MRI
The recent budget announcement by the UK government brings exciting news for the healthcare sector, particularly in the realm of medical imaging.
In particular, Gold Standard Phantoms welcomes the increased investment in MRI scanners, a crucial move to reduce waiting times for the NHS across the country.
However, for this investment to have a maximum impact, it should be accompanied by a concomitant increase in the number of highly trained medical physicists and engineers to ensure optimal quality across the board.
