In Efremov, 23 patients underwent an MRI after repairing the device

In the Efremovsk hospital restored the work of the apparatus of magnetic resonance imaging. After repair, the equipment again helps doctors to identify changes in the body of patients without surgery, told “MK in Tula” in the press service of the Tula Ministry of Health.

It is worth clarifying that MRI allows you to obtain detailed images of the brain, spine, joints and internal organs. The images help specialists to detect irregularities that cannot be detected during a routine examination.

To return the device to operation, doctors replaced the faulty part and filled the equipment with helium. After that, the CT scanner began to accept patients again.

To date, 23 people who were treated in the neurological department have already been examined. Five of them were made with the use of a contrast agent, which allows a more detailed study of the state of the tissues. Now, patients who do not undergo treatment in the hospital can also register for diagnosis.

Earlier, MK in Tula reported on the development of bone marrow transplantation in the Tula region. Since the beginning of 2026, specialists of the regional oncology center have conducted seven such operations, all of which have been successfully completed.

To treat severe blood diseases, doctors use patients' own stem cells. This method is used in lymphoma and myel therapy and allows the body to recover faster after treatment.

In 2025, a cryobank for storing stem cells was opened in the Tula Cancer Center. Since then, doctors have performed 16 transplants.
