The number of MRIs in Manitoba has increased by 29 per cent.
New data released by the Canadian Institute for Health Information shows that since 2015 there have been 94,000 MRIs.
The increase in MRI volumes, helped by the opening of a new scanner in Selkirk, allowed wait times to improve by 33 per cent in the past 18 months, to 16 weeks from 24 weeks.
Health, Seniors and Active Living Minister Cameron Friesen expects the new machine in Dauphin to help even more.
