While expanding the scope and capacity of the clinic to meet increasing demand for high quality diagnostics, the progressive technology and structural modernization have necessitated relocation of the clinic to a more suitable space over the years.

In November 2016, it was moved to a 1600m2 site, which was specially designed and built to accommodate the seven ultrasound machines, with five rooms dedicated to traditional radiology, a space for two Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) rooms, a CT-room and ancillary areas for the influx of approximately 350 patients daily. In addition to diagnostic imaging, other rooms at the clinic are used for additional specialties, such as cardiology, heart surgery, gynecology, orthopaedics, urology, general surgery, vascular surgery and psychiatry.

Patients at the clinic also experience significant benefits from the Vantage Elan / NX Edition. “From a patient perspective, the ability to obtain high image quality scans in less time is crucial for patients undergoing long time examinations, such as patients suffering from multiple sclerosis (MS) or oncology patients,” said Dr. Papini Giacomo (radiologist).

“Now, we can routinely perform 3D FLAIR acquisition, not only in selected patients, such as ‘post-op’, but also as part of routine examinations. This increases our quality standards of care. We achieve shorter scan times while retaining overall good image quality, even in uncooperative patients. For example, this is particularly helpful in patients with spinal disc herniation or vertebral fractures, who find it hard to remain still due to sever of pain.”
