Technology

Innovation in the service of more precise medicine

The technology at Hospital Memorial Publio Cordón has been selected to expand what our professionals can do, improve diagnostic and therapeutic precision, and deliver safer, more personalised care.

The various devices form part of a connected ecosystem. Images obtained during the diagnostic process can be incorporated into surgical or radiotherapy planning; navigation systems help guide complex procedures; and verification tools provide relevant information before, during and after treatment.

Innovation does not replace medical judgement. It reinforces it by providing more accurate information, greater planning capacity and new opportunities to deliver better care.

High-precision diagnostic imaging

The Diagnostic Imaging department comprises 3T magnetic resonance imaging, advanced computed tomography, 3D digital mammography, digital radiography, ultrasound, mobile radiography and bone densitometry.

This equipment makes it possible to tailor each scan to the patient’s clinical needs, obtain accurate anatomical and functional information, and facilitate more reliable diagnostic decisions.

3T magnetic resonance imaging

SIGNA Premier 3T

It enables the acquisition of highly detailed anatomical and functional images, which are particularly useful in neurological, cardiological, oncological, vascular and musculoskeletal examinations. Its spacious design allows for a more comfortable examination, tailored to each patient.

Advanced computed tomography

Revolution APEX Elite

It performs high-precision scans in a short time, a capability that is particularly important in A&E and for cardiac, neurological, vascular and oncological examinations. Its technology allows the image quality and radiation dose to be adjusted for each scan.

3D digital mammography

Senographe Pristina

It combines digital mammography and 3D tomosynthesis to examine breast tissue in greater detail and reduce the overlap of structures. It is designed to improve positioning, comfort and the patient’s experience during the examination.

Digital radiology

Definium 656 HD

It provides accurate images for the examination of the chest, abdomen, spine, skull and limbs. Its positioning and control systems facilitate consistent scans and help to avoid unnecessary repeat scans.

Advanced surgery and interventional procedures

Hospital Memorial Publio Cordón has eight operating theatres, two endoscopy suites and eight individual ICU rooms, designed to deliver safe, coordinated surgical care adapted to procedures of varying complexity.

The surgical suite incorporates advanced imaging, robotic surgery, surgical navigation and specialised assistance systems. This equipment enables each procedure to be planned with greater precision, facilitates less invasive approaches where indicated, and allows certain outcomes to be verified during the procedure itself.

Its facilities include the Allia IGS 7 hybrid operating theatre, Da Vinci 5 robotic surgery, robot-assisted orthopaedic surgery and neuro-navigation with intraoperative imaging.

Hybrid operating theatre

Allia IGS 7

It combines advanced imaging and surgical capabilities within a single space. It enables images to be captured during the procedure and, in certain cases, allows the results to be assessed without moving the patient out of the operating theatre.

Robotic surgery

Da Vinci 5

The Da Vinci 5 system, the latest generation of robotic surgery, enables minimally invasive procedures to be carried out with great precision and a magnified view of the surgical field. In selected patients, it can reduce the impact of surgery and promote a faster recovery.

Robot-assisted orthopaedic surgery

It helps to plan specific procedures according to each patient’s anatomy and facilitates precise adjustments during surgery, particularly when placing implants.

Neuronavegación e imagen intraoperatoria

Neuronavigation and intraoperative imaging

It provides 2D and 3D images during surgery, improving accuracy and allowing the result to be checked before the procedure is completed.

Technology to support more accurate decisions and more personalised treatments.

Gaining a better understanding of the disease to take more targeted action.

Technology enhances our professionals’ ability to better understand the condition, plan each course of treatment and act with greater precision.

Hospital Memorial Publio Cordón brings together nuclear medicine, functional imaging and advanced radiotherapy to offer more complete diagnoses and treatments tailored to the needs of each patient.

Nuclear medicine and functional imaging

SPECT-CT NM/CT 860

It combines functional and anatomical information to study how organs work and to pinpoint potential abnormalities. Its applications include, amongst other areas, oncology, cardiology, neurology and bone pathology.

High-precision radiotherapy

TrueBeam linear accelerator

It enables radiotherapy to be delivered with great precision, tailoring the treatment to the tumour volume whilst providing maximum protection for surrounding healthy tissue. It incorporates advanced techniques for dose modulation, image-guided therapy and respiratory motion control.

A connected technological ecosystem

The value of the technology at Hospital Memorial Publio Cordón lies not only in the capabilities of each device, but in how it is integrated across the entire care process.

Images obtained via CT, MRI or nuclear medicine can be incorporated into surgical and radiotherapy planning. Navigation, guidance and verification systems make it possible to correlate this planning with the patient’s anatomy during the various stages of treatment.

This link provides a more comprehensive overview of each case, facilitates coordination between specialists and enables decisions to be made on the basis of accurate, shared information.
