PERU – The modular structure that will be the home of the new MRI unit at Illinois Valley Community Hospital was lifted into place on Thursday, November 15th.
The 40-ton addition to the hospital’s diagnostic imaging department was brought to Peru on an 80-foot tractor trailer truck and then hoisted by crane on to a concrete pad adjoining the outside wall to the department. The new addition to the main IVCH building will house a new magnetic resonance imaging unit that is expected to be in use by mid-December.
Manufactured by Canon Medical Systems and obtained with the help of a major grant from the IVCH Foundation, the new MRI at the Peru hospital will have the widest opening currently available, making it less claustrophobic than older systems.
