One of the great challenges in the area of health is to make medical care ever faster and more effective, in this context technology plays an essential role.
This is the case with medical imaging, resources that doctors in the practice of their profession use for photographing the human body, either for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes.
Due to the importance of this type of imaging in the diagnosis and prevention of diseases, the Diabetes, Obesity and Specialties Medical Center (Cemdoe), Has in its structure a unit consisting of six radiologists, who perform thousands of monthly procedures.
Eloy Gautier, chief physician of the Imaging Unit of the center, says that the imaging studies carried out by the center respond to its philosophy ‘from illness to health and from health to well-being’, because “when in medicine we can make an early diagnosis of the different diseases, we have the opportunity to make a more effective treatment, promoting the rapid recovery of patients and a faster reintegration into their daily activities “.
“Cendoe incorporated a medical imaging unit into its services because since its construction, the center has been designed to offer comprehensive care to the patient. Our goal is to give them the best service and the most accurate diagnosis. in response to all your needs in the shortest possible time and with the greatest facilities “.
In this sense, he added that thanks to digitization “in this center we can deliver results immediately, in a time of 24 to 48 hours depending on the complexity of the pathology.”
Detects anomalies in time
Gautier pointed out that this specialty of medicine explores the internal organs of the body, and for this purpose, uses equipment that emits radiation, ultrasound or radio frequency, which can determine pathologies in different structures of the body.
He indicated that imaging specialists perform diagnostic studies to detect any type of abnormality or pathology in the organs. “The purpose of this evaluation is detect pathologies in time, and provide a better prognosis in the treatment of our patients “.
The Diagnostic Imaging Unit of the said center is subdivided by conventional X-ray, sonography, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, mammography and densitometry.
Diagnostic studies are classified into simple and complex. The former do not carry a means of contrast to highlight certain organs of the body; while complex studies deserve some instrumentation such as catheters, probes, and so on.
In this area, within the services of greater rigor that realize are the cardiac studies in tomography, angiotomography, cardio score, arterial and venous Doppler; as well as musculoskeletal MRIs.
It is noteworthy that they also have the most advanced helium resonator on the market, which is designed with a technology that does not require helium replacement, which in turn has a direct impact on the conservation of the environment.
