Imaging services in the community

Our services A-Z

We provide Imaging services outside of Addenbrooke’s Hospital and this could mean you have a scan at one of our community locations.

We have one on-site mobile MRI scanner located just outside of our main MRI department at Addenbrooke's.

This is located on Robinson Way in-between the entrance to the Rosie and the entrance to the main MRI department. The mobile MRI Scanner is staffed by the CUH team.

Mobility issues

Unfortunately, we do not have a hoist at this location. We advise patients with mobility issues not to attend.

Waiting room

The waiting room for the mobile scanner is in the MRIS unit. Please report to the reception where our staff will let you know which scanner you will be scanned on.

Parking

Parking is available at either car park 1 or 2. It is about the same distance from either car park. Alternative transport is available to the Addenbrookes site.
