Donors help fund Australian-first technology
6 April 2023
In an Australian first, The Alfred Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is now home to a mobile computed tomography (CT) scanner. With no other ICU in the country using mobile CT, the installation of the machine in 2022 was the culmination of a six-year project to revolutionise the way ICU patients, especially those who need head CT scans, are cared for. Costing just more than $1 million to purchase and install, the project could never have been achieved without the $850,000 generously contributed by the community.
