SMART ANSWER

Case Study of Bayside Memorial Hospital- Cash Flow Analysis

An MRI machine would be a crucial addition to any healthcare facility owing to its massive assistance in studying the body structures of patients to establish existing anomalies. The machine uses strong electromagnetic waves to generate highly detailed images of the internal structures of the body. It can be used to study almost every part of the body including blood vessels, heart, spinal cord, brain, breasts, bones, and internal organs such as liver, kidneys, prostate glands, or womb. The results from the MRI images assist in diagnosis, making decisions on treatment, and assessing how effective treatment has been in the patient (Morreale, Lau, & Harrison, 2019).
