46,000 MRI and CT scans lost after system upgrade


PETALING JAYA: At least 46,000 images from a few million taken for patients who sought treatment at the University Malaya Medical Centre have been compromised due to a technical glitch that happened during a system upgrade.

UMMC director Prof Datuk Dr Ikram Shah Ismail said the problem happened when some images were not “copied properly” during the upgrade and could not be retrieved as the backup hard drive for the new imaging system was corrupted.
