As part of celebrations to mark ACT's 30th birthday, retired Professor of Radiology Adrian Dixon, one of the charity's founding fathers, has reminisced about the campaign to raise £1m to buy and run Addenbrooke's first whole body CT scanner in the late 1970s, the first in the region.

Fundraisers later went onto buy the region's first £1.25m MRI scanner and a building to house it. You can read the story here (opens in a new tab)
