The machines are part of a £1.2m investment in new fluoroscopy suites at Lincoln County and Boston Pilgrim Hospitals.

They are able to combine different types of X-rays to provide clinicians with modern imaging to perform patient procedures and deliver prompt diagnosis and treatments.

They can show real-time moving images of what is happening within a patient’s body, for example the swallowing mechanism and blood flow.

More than 500 patients have so far benefited from the new machines.

A 70-year-old woman who was the victim of domestic abuse by her husband has urged Lincolnshire Police to continue its work around the issue.

The woman, who has been divorced from her abusive husband for more than three decades, said her experiences of abuse still "haunted" her.

She said she hoped her words might reach someone else who was suffering the same way she did 30 years ago.

"I still hear his voice, telling me I'm fat, ugly and no-one likes me, on a daily basis. The control of what I wore, questioning our children about who I had been talking to," she said.

"I am now in my 70s. It's still with me. He never left a bruise where it could be seen. They are all still in my head.

"He was clever, even my family liked him, never suspected things were not right."

She told Lincolnshire Police that publicity about domestic abuse was "so important", adding: "Please carry on as long as you need to. And you will need to."

Responding, the Lincolnshire force said the woman was a "hero" and "an inspiration" and added that anyone who is facing abuse now was not alone.

Councillor Patricia Bradwell, who oversees children’s services, said: "Since the start of term, there have been schools affected by the virus, but working with our public health team, they have taken the appropriate action to limit the potential spread of the disease.

"The major focus now is helping our young people catch up on the learning they missed during the initial lockdown, and the government has made funding available to achieve this."

Schools will also have the opportunity to register an interest in the National Tutoring Programme, which will offer additional targeted support for disadvantaged and vulnerable young people.

Councillor Bradwell added: "I want to thank all schools, pupils and parents for their support in getting pupils back to school."
