Radiology Department

The Radiodiagnostics Unit at the Publio Cordón Memorial Hospital specialises in high-precision diagnostic imaging, addressing neurological, thoracic, abdominal, breast and musculoskeletal conditions with a rigorous clinical approach.

It combines advanced technology with specialist medical expertise to provide reliable diagnostic investigations, aimed at enabling safe and well-founded treatment decisions.

The team comprises radiologists with specific expertise in neuroimaging, thoraco-abdominal radiology, breast radiology and musculoskeletal radiology. This subspecialisation enables each study to be interpreted within its clinical context, providing expert judgement in highly complex situations.

High-precision diagnostic imaging for complex conditions

The unit is called upon when an accurate diagnostic assessment is required, whether in response to newly emerging symptoms, significant clinical findings or the need for ongoing monitoring.

It is particularly indicated for the investigation or monitoring of tumours, neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis or epilepsy, pulmonary and cardiovascular conditions, acute liver, pancreatic or abdominal conditions, as well as joint, muscle or sports-related injuries.

Each test is requested on the basis of a justified medical indication and is interpreted using a comprehensive clinical approach, avoiding unnecessary investigations and prioritising those that genuinely influence decision-making.

Advanced technology supporting safe clinical decision-making

The unit is equipped with high-definition MRI, which enables the early detection of tumours, neurodegenerative diseases and inflammatory conditions of the central nervous system, with more comfortable scans and reduced noise levels.

The state-of-the-art CT scanner facilitates rapid and accurate diagnoses of lung cancer, cardiovascular conditions, abdominal diseases and medical emergencies, optimising image quality whilst significantly reducing the radiation dose.

In the field of breast radiology, the state-of-the-art digital mammography system enables the early detection of breast cancer with high diagnostic sensitivity, complemented by image-guided biopsies and minimally invasive procedures in selected cases, integrating diagnosis and treatment within the same healthcare setting.

Personalised interventional procedures

The unit not only carries out diagnostic investigations, but also performs minimally invasive radiological procedures when clinically indicated.

Image-guided techniques enable us to obtain samples, treat selected lesions and resolve certain conditions without the need for conventional surgery.

Each procedure is planned on a case-by-case basis, following a comprehensive clinical assessment and in consultation with the team responsible for the patient.

Coordinated care model and high-resolution imaging service

The Radiodiagnostics Unit works in close collaboration with Oncology, Neurology, Surgery, Cardiology and the other specialities at the Publio Cordón Memorial Hospital.

This coordination ensures that each scan is interpreted within a comprehensive clinical context and that the results are immediately incorporated into the treatment plan.

Organised as a high-resolution service, the unit optimises diagnostic turnaround times, reduces unnecessary repeat tests and enables rapid, evidence-based clinical decision-making.

The combination of medical subspecialisation, cutting-edge technology and a structured care approach cements the Radiodiagnostics Unit’s position as a leader in precision diagnostic imaging, providing clinical assurance and expert support throughout every diagnostic process.
