A local TD has announced the MRI scanner at Cavan General Hospital is set to be upgraded this year.
Cavan-Monaghan TD Brendan Smith received the confirmation from the HSE earlier this week.
An application was previously made by the hospital to the HSE National Equipment Replacement Programme to replace the existing MRI scanner in its radiology department.

Preparatory work is now being undertaken ahead of installation of the new scanner, which will be in place during the course of the year.
Deputy Brendan Smith says MRI scanners are vital tools.
