Its been a while since we had some proper container porn on Think Defence and Marshall Aerospace and Defence Group being awarded the Queen’s Award for Enterprise 2013 in the Innovation category is reason enough.
The Marshall Containerised Deployable CT Scanner is one of the reasons why.

Another great UK defence company we don’t hear enough about
my background is in mri scanners, which could be (are?) container-ised (?) in a similar fashion (albeit with consideration for fringe-field effects, power supply, field safety zones, more tricky in the metal-rich environment that is a warzone, but still …). you definitely already have ‘mri in a truck’ as they help deal with nhs surge demand etc.
the availability of such CT / mri systems in a forward base (e.g.: like Bastion) further improves the pretty amazing work done by the medical staff in saving lives, in both war and humanitarian situations. i haven’t got much to add, other than ‘bravo’ :-)
As one of the guys who was the fortunate recipient of a MRI scan in Bastion – very impressed with it – like TD said – unsung heroes.
Welcome to TD Freddy, hope you are well now.
Elizzar, I am always amazed by thinks like this, particularly how they make them robust enough and as you say, I expect the emissions management must be very complex in such an emissions rich environment
