BRADFORD Royal Infirmary has unveiled a new state-of-the-art machine which promises to improve patient care.

The hospital now has an ALLIA IGS 740 system from GE Healthcare which allows radiologists to perform intricate procedures with even greater precision.

The new piece of equipment will help with vascular treatments such as stent insertion, embolisation - a way of blocking abnormal blood vessels - and angioplasty - a procedure used to open blocked coronary arteries.

Consultant interventional radiologist, Jonathan Barber, said: "The introduction of GE Healthcare's ALLIA IGS 740 system to our department represents a significant advancement in our ability to deliver cutting-edge interventional radiology services to our patients.

"This technology allows us to perform complex procedures with unprecedented precision - improving patient care and outcomes."
