Experiences at the new magnetic resonance imaging centre at Bristol.

The magnetic resonance imaging unit in Bristol has been housed in a new purpose-built centre, shared between three District Health Authorities, but operated entirely separate from the National Health Service. Inasmuch as this is thought to be a unique arrangement, the publication of its finances and statistics have been readily tabulated at the end of its first year's operation, and may be of interest to others planning a similar organization.
