CT Scanner - €1.3 million

In 2006 we were able to fund a CT Scanner for the Radiology Department.
A CT Scanner is a high-tech scanner for diagnosis, in particular the emergency diagnosis of head and body injury.

It is also critical in the diagnosis of skull deformities, ear disease, lung disease, brain and bone tumours.
The key to effective treatment is early and accurate diagnosis and without a CT Scanner here in the Hospital, critically ill children or children who have been involved in a major accident had to be transported out of the hospital to the Mater or Beaumont for a CT scan.
In these hospitals, our children had to compete with adult patients in a busy adult hospital environment which was less than ideal for the care of babies and children. The cost of this project was €1.3 million.
