The Vista Primary Care Campus was the first facility in Ireland to deploy a wide bore MRI Scanner, the Siemens Magnetom Espree wide bore, 1.5 Tesla system. The length of the tunnel is 125 cm (approximately four feet) and the diameter of the bore is 70 cm (nearly 2.3 feet) which when compared to a non-wide bore MRI scanner, means that the hole in the tunnel is wider and the length of the tunnel shorter, resulting in 60% of examinations having both head and feet of the patient out of the scanner at the same time. This makes the scanner an ideal choice when referring claustrophobic or obese patients.
