SKB MRI

St. Kitts Biomedical MRI (SKB MRI), also known as SKBMRI, is the pioneering magnetic resonance imaging facility in St. Kitts and Nevis, established as part of the St. Kitts Biomedical Research Foundation. Founded by Dr. D. Eugene Redmond Jr., a retired professor from Yale University School of Medicine, the foundation integrates advanced medical diagnostics with biomedical research initiatives. The MRI services began operations around April 2016, marking a significant advancement in local healthcare by providing the island's first and only MRI scanner at the time, eliminating the need for residents to travel to neighboring islands like Antigua for such procedures. 

Located in the Lower Bourryeau Estate in Basseterre, St. Kitts, SKB MRI serves as a leading diagnostic center offering high-quality MRI scans for medical imaging of body organs and tissues using magnetic fields and radio waves. The facility adheres to the highest international operating standards and best practices, including rigorous cleaning and sterilization protocols, ensuring safety for human patients even though the scanner is also used for animal research in a separate, isolated area. This dual-purpose approach has enabled cost reductions of 50% or more for patients compared to regional alternatives, while maintaining superior diagnostic quality.
