The MRI scanner at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital will be out of service for about three weeks.

According to a Bermuda Hospitals Board spokeswoman, a “major component” of the scanner needs replacing.

“Unfortunately this will result in the MRI scanner at KEMH Acute Care Wing remaining out of service for approximately three weeks,” she said.

“BHB clinicians will work collaboratively with Bermuda Healthcare to secure access to another machine for urgent cases.

“BHB will issue a release when the scanner service resumes. We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause.”
