CMCH MRI service resumes

Chittagong Medical College Hospital will resume magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner service today three years after the old machine went out of order.

A new MRI machine has already been installed in the radiology and imaging department at a cost of Tk 10 crore, said CMCH sources.

Chittagong City Corporation Mayor AJM Nasir Uddin is scheduled to inaugurate the machine today.

Dr Subas Majumder of the department said initially a total of 20 patients can be given the service a day. The number will be increased gradually, he added.
