SingHealth opens off-site MRI centre at Dunearn Village

It features three new machines, boosting annual capacity by up to 18,000 slots.

SingHealth has opened a new off-site magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) centre at Dunearn Village, with three machines boosting annual capacity by up to 18,000 slots.

The new MRI machines, operated in partnership with United Imaging Healthcare, are equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) functions that can reduce scan time by up to 25% for certain procedures.

Two of the units feature a bore of 75 centimetres (cm) in diametre, 5 cm larger than standard MRI bores on the market.

Each machine includes a ‘starlight’ interior lining designed to create a greater sense of space and increase patient comfort, particularly for those with claustrophobia.

The MRI rooms also have dynamic wall and ceiling systems that project nature-themed visuals and integrate with audio systems for music or other entertainment during scans.

The SingHealth MRI Centre has been operational since 2 January this year.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
