Diagnostic imaging

Computerised tomography (CT) is an advanced diagnostic imaging technique that uses X-rays and computer technology to obtain detailed images of the inside of the body. This equipment allows organs, bones, blood vessels and tissues to be visualised with great precision. It is particularly useful for detecting internal injuries, tumours, infections or haemorrhages. The procedure is quick, non-invasive and provides key information for an accurate diagnosis. This state-of-the-art equipment allows studies to be performed with low doses of radiation. At our medical centre, CT is an essential tool for providing you with the highest quality and safest healthcare.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to obtain detailed images of the inside of the body without using radiation. It is particularly useful for studying the brain, spinal cord, joints and heart. It allows lesions, inflammation, tumours and other abnormalities to be detected with great precision. The procedure is safe, non-invasive and very effective for diagnosis. At our centre, MRI is key to offering you advanced and personalised medical care.

Mammography is an imaging technique that uses low-dose X-rays to examine breast tissue. It is the most effective method for the early detection of breast cancer, even before symptoms appear. It allows microcalcifications, nodules and other abnormalities in the breasts to be identified. The procedure is quick, safe and can save lives thanks to early diagnosis. At our centre, we have state-of-the-art technology (tomosynthesis or 3D mammography) to offer you an accurate and comfortable mammogram.

Ultrasound is a diagnostic imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualise internal organs and structures in real time. It does not use radiation, so it is safe even during pregnancy. It is particularly useful for examining the abdomen, heart, muscles, joints and reproductive system. It can detect cysts, tumours, inflammation and other abnormalities. At our centre, ultrasound is an essential tool for making quick, accurate and risk-free diagnoses.

Conventional radiology is an imaging technique that uses X-rays to obtain images of the inside of the body, especially bones, lungs and joints. It is quick, accessible and very useful for detecting fractures, infections, lung diseases and other abnormalities. The procedure is simple and takes only a few minutes. At our centre, we have modern equipment that guarantees high-quality images with the minimum dose of radiation. It is a basic but essential tool in everyday medical diagnosis.

Bone densitometry is an imaging technique that measures bone mineral density, especially in areas such as the spine and hips. It is mainly used to diagnose osteoporosis and assess the risk of fractures. It is a quick, painless procedure with very low radiation exposure. This equipment allows for accurate calculation of body composition (percentage of muscle mass and fat). The results help to decide on preventive or therapeutic treatments. At our centre, densitometry is key to caring for bone health, especially in postmenopausal women and older people.
