<p>Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanning is an increasingly important element
of cancer diagnosis and assessment for cancer treatment. It allows detailed imaging
of tumours and in some cases the detection of possible spread. This is important for
accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.</p><p> </p><p>NHS England’s National Cancer
Programme has a number of initiatives underway to support the delivery of key strategic
priorities including the National Diagnostic Capacity Fund. The fund is an investment
in specific projects and interventions to change the way we deliver diagnostic services
and unlock capacity by delivering more efficiently. The fund is focusing on redesigning
and streamlining patient pathways, to ensure that patients receive the right tests
at the right time, including MRI scans, as efficiently as possible.</p>
