Diagnostic Imaging
The diagnostic imaging division includes: traditional Radiology,
Computerised Axial Tomography (TAC), Magnetic Resonance (RM), Computerised Bone
Mineralometry (MOC), Angiocardiography and Haemodynamic, Echography and
Echocolordoppler, Nuclear Medicine in vitro and in vivo, Endoscopic Senology,
digestive and respiratory.
The activity of the division, equipped with highly technological instruments, is
dedicated to diagnostics and treatment of all relevant cases, but also to the
production of analogic imaging of integrated type obtained through digitally
eleborated methodologies, for teaching and research aims.
The constant updating of technological instrumentation has allowed the
development of TAC and MOC to include a helicoidal scanning system with
volumetric acquisition . Clear and detailed images are swiftly obtained, with
significant advantage for both diagnostic results and the patient.
Magnetic Resonance systems have recently been developed to include a new high
level system to carry out, besides routine investigations, specific tests
including "Fast Imaging" and Angio-Magnetic Resonance (Angio RM).
The Nuclear Medicine section is endowed with a modern rotating total body gamma
camera that carries out all tests made possible today by this methodology,
including SPET.
Another section has an "Advantage Windows" module, specific for
radio-diagnosis. Innovative in the field of multimodal diagnostic imaging
workstations, this module allows three-dimensional reconstruction and the
possibility of animation of MOC, RM, SPET and ANGIOGRAPHIC imaging, so enabling
representation and rebuilding of an entire area in all its anatomical components
(integrated imaging).
