New LINAC for Small Animal Teaching Hospital Institute of Veterinary Science, University of Liverpool

We are pleased to announce the installation of a new Linear Accelerator at the SATH is now complete. The purchase of the Varian VitalBeam follows the recent installation of the Phillips MRI and Toshiba Aquilion CT Scanner, and will give SATH exceptional facilities.

The Turnkey project was completed to programme within 5 weeks, with all patient facing finishes and facilities being renewed. As is the norm, to remove and replace the redundant Linac required structural alterations which were undertaken with the minimal of impact to the facility with the major works being undertaken outside of teaching and treatment times at noght and over weekends.

Professor Laura Blackwood, Head of Department of Small Animal Clinical Science commented:

“This represents a continued and significant investment from the University in cutting edge equipment for the Hospital and we are very excited about the prospect of improving treatment for our patients.”

The new machine is now fully operational.
