REGINA — A machine in Saskatchewan that’s vital for diagnosing cancer is working at full capacity after it was disrupted two weeks ago.
The Saskatchewan Health Authority’s PET/CT scanner was down for two days in December and had only been running at half capacity.
The authority says the machine at Saskatoon’s Royal University Hospital became fully functional again late last week.
It says a facility that supplies the scanner with a radioactive tracer has resolved its issues.
The Opposition NDP has criticized the Saskatchewan Party government for not having contingency plans in place when the machine can’t be used.
The disruption in December caused 51 appointment cancellations.
