Liverpool’s newest private healthcare facility, the Regent Hospital, is set to offer patients some of the UK’s most advanced diagnostic imaging following the installation of a GE HealthCare SIGNA™ Architect 3T MRI scanner by specialist private imaging provider Maven Radiology.

The scanner has been installed at the new Regent Hospital at Princes Dock, Liverpool, as part of a partnership that will see Maven Radiology design, deliver and operate the hospital’s high-end imaging service.

Purpose-built for the demands of modern private healthcare, the SIGNA Architect 3T MRI scanner combines exceptional imaging quality with an industry-leading 70cm wide bore, helping improve patient comfort while delivering highly detailed diagnostic images across neurological, musculoskeletal, cardiac, oncological and whole-body examinations.

The installation forms part of Maven Radiology’s approach to bring elite-level diagnostic imaging to the private healthcare sector through a combination of advanced technology, experienced clinical leadership and operational excellence.

Founded by experienced healthcare leaders Jason Massa, Roy Craven and Arun Ghosh, Maven Radiology partners with private hospitals and specialist clinicians to develop and deliver diagnostic imaging services tailored to the needs of private practice. The business provides strategic consultancy, equipment sourcing, staffing and fully managed imaging services, with expertise spanning MRI, CT and ultrasound.

Jason Massa, Director of Maven Radiology, said:

“Private healthcare demands exceptional standards, not only in clinical care but throughout the entire patient journey. Our partnership with The Regent Hospital has been built around creating a diagnostic imaging service that delivers outstanding quality, efficiency and patient experience from day one.

“The SIGNA Architect 3T MRI represents exactly the type of technology we believe private patients deserve. It combines exceptional image quality with faster examinations and a more comfortable scanning experience, enabling clinicians to diagnose with even greater confidence while helping patients feel more at ease.”

The GE HealthCare SIGNA Architect 3T incorporates a range of advanced technologies designed to improve both clinical performance and patient experience. Its 70cm wide bore creates a more spacious environment for patients, while AIR™ imaging technologies and advanced workflow capabilities support faster scan times, improved image consistency and high diagnostic confidence.

For consultants and referring clinicians, the scanner provides high-resolution imaging capable of supporting complex diagnostic pathways across a wide range of clinical specialties.

The partnership reflects a growing demand for premium diagnostic imaging within the independent healthcare sector, where rapid access to high-quality imaging plays an important role in improving patient pathways, supporting earlier diagnosis and enhancing clinical decision making.

By combining vendor-neutral technology expertise with experienced clinical leadership, Maven Radiology works alongside private hospitals from initial planning and equipment specification through to live service delivery, creating imaging services that are clinically robust and designed around the expectations of modern private healthcare.

The Regent Hospital imaging department is expected to welcome its first patients later this year.
