Saskatchewan patients will have quicker access to diagnostic imaging services after last week's official opening of a new Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine at Regina General Hospital. "This is another major step forward in Saskatchewan's efforts to provide residents with high quality, timely diagnostic imaging services," Health Minister John Nilson said. The MRI is Regina's second, and the fourth in the province. The purchase, planning and renovations cost approximately $4.6 million, of which $2.2 million was invested from the 2004-05 provincial budget. The remainder was provided through the 2004 federal health funding accord.
