Features

During the summer of 2007 the radiological activities of the clinical centre of Leverkusen by the RNR MVZ were taken over and a self contained centre of excellence, covering an area 700 square meters has been created. This new concept, coupled with the latest equipment and the large size of the RF room, becoming the model for similar projects in other RNR MVZ locations to ensure smooth examination procedures, the changing rooms were built next to the RF room. This gives secure access and patient privacy as well as shortening the examination waiting time to a minimum; all assisting the patient to relax with a sense of ‘well being’.
