Bellvitge Hospital Unveils Cutting-Edge MRI Equipment with Neuroscience Focus

- Facilities

Bellvitge University Hospital (HUB) is set to introduce advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment within the premises of the Delta building, its hub of excellence in Neuroscience and Neurosurgery. This cutting-edge apparatus is specifically designed to cater to the diagnosis and treatment of patients grappling with a spectrum of neurological disorders, encompassing both medical and surgical cases. It will entirely integrate into the hospital's operational workflows.

This state-of-the-art equipment boasts an impressive power of three high-field teslas, enhancing the capacity for early detection through high-resolution imaging and reduced examination durations. Dr Nahum Calvo, Clinical Director of Diagnostic Imaging at HUB, underscored the significance of this cutting-edge technology in expediting patient care.

Bellvitge University Hospital is recognised as a benchmark in Diagnostic Imaging, thanks to its first-class technological equipment. Its High Precision Diagnostic Centre, which has the first PET-MRI in the Spanish public health system, represents a paradigm shift in this field. Bellvitge is also at the forefront in obtaining imaging biomarkers through a radiomics project that incorporates Artificial Intelligence in diagnosis.
