Doctor Richard Graham, consultant radiologist at The RUH describes Positron as a revolutionary type of scan which can have a significant effect on patients’ treatments, for statistics show that a third of cancer treatments are modified following Positron scans because of the precise nature of the images which are produced by such scans. Since the charity was established it has only ever been run by volunteers and as a consequence, a major part of what is raised can be spent on providing facilities for cancer patients at the RUH. To ensure that the Positron scanner is in constant use the scanner will also be used: This appeal provides those who live and work in the area with a wonderful opportunity to ensure that those of their neighbours and colleagues who require treatment for cancer are given access to the latest equipment which will dramatically improve outcomes.
