Children's Hospital of Wales cancer unit 'a real success'

A "groundbreaking" diagnostic centre for children with cancer is officially opening.

Cardiff's Children's Hospital of Wales's radiology unit uses innovative technology and ambient lighting and sound to make an immersive atmosphere.

The centre is believed to be the first of its kind in the UK.

The hospital has seen a significant reduction in the need to give children a general anaesthetic while having MRI scans since the suite was installed.

Consultant radiologist Sue Morris said the unit had been a "real success".
