CT/MRI Initiative Began at Benner Township This Fall

On Oct. 23, SCI Benner Township began a CT/MRI initiative. Each Wednesday, Correctional Diagnostic Imaging, Inc., arrives Benner Township with their CT scan or MRI equipment to perform testing. This initiative provides a cost savings for any male inmate throughout the state that would need such testing. Each Tuesday, inmates are transferred to Benner Township in order to complete their respective testing on Wednesday. On Thursday, each inmate will return to their respective home facility. Additionally, the CT/MRI Initiative saves each institution from sending their inmate population to outside facilities in order to have these types of tests completed. The inmate population will benefit by having their testing completed quicker. The CT scans and MRIs rotate every other week, and anywhere from 14-18 tests per day are completed.
