24×7 CT & Silent MRI
Immediate Brain Imaging for Faster Stroke Diagnosis at NHS Neurocare (a unit of NHS Hospital)
Immediate Brain Imaging for Faster Stroke Care
When a stroke is suspected, every second matters. The faster the brain is scanned, the sooner the right treatment can begin. At NHS Neurocare (a unit of NHS Hospital), our Stroke Ready Centre is equipped with 24×7 CT and Latest 1.5 Tesla Silent MRI facilities located within the Emergency Department, ensuring that patients receive immediate diagnostic imaging without unnecessary delays.
Having CT and MRI inside the Emergency is a significant advantage during a stroke emergency. Patients do not need to be transported to another area of the hospital, saving precious time when every minute can make a difference to brain recovery.
Supported by experienced radiologists and senior neurologists led by Dr Sandeep Goel (DM Neurology), our advanced imaging services help deliver rapid, accurate diagnosis and timely treatment.
CT & MRI Inside Emergency – A Key Advantage
Unlike many healthcare facilities where patients need to be transferred across the hospital for imaging, NHS Neurocare has both CT and Latest 1.5 Tesla Silent MRI located directly inside the Emergency Department.
This allows our stroke emergency team to perform immediate brain imaging, eliminate patient transfer delays, accelerate clinical decision-making, and initiate clot-busting or thrombectomy treatments without losing critical golden-hour time.
