The Most Advanced Technology

We are pioneers in the local imaging industry, offering the first hybrid PT-CT scanner in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean.  The "Biograph 16" remains the fastest and most efficient PET-CT scanner in the Island. 

The obtained resolution remains the best given our HI REZ PET crystals:  this means that our PET scanner is able to evaluate nodules as small as 5 millimeters.

CT and MRI
CT and MRI en Puerto Rico

CT and MRI are radiologic modalities that allow the noninvasive detection of some forms of cancer, infection, inflammation, trauma, cysts, surgical complications, and congenital conditions among others.

While CT uses X rays, MRI uses magnetic fields, radiofrequency pulses and variations in gradient strength to generate anatomic images.

Our CT scanner is spiral and multidetector.  Our MRI scanners are of high magnetic field and boast high performance gradients.  

DEXA Scan

 

 Ultrasound

 

 DEXA SCAN -  scan is used to measure the density of bones. It is mainly used to diagnose osteoporosis (loss of bone material) and to assess your risk of having a fracture.

 

 

General and  Vascular Ultrasound -  vascular ultrasound and some  general ultrasound tests are available at our imaging center . 

 New Nuclear Medicine Services, 3 Tesla MRI & Coronary Angiography CT (CCTA) will be available at our new Imaging Center in 2010.

Who Interprets the Studies Performed at our Imaging Center?
The Best Radiolgy Doctors in Puerto Rico

Radiology doctors are in charge of MRI, CT and sonography studies.  A nuclear medicine doctor and a radiology doctor are in charge of PET-CT scans.  These are the physicians who interpret the studies.  

All our physicians are American Board Certified and one has the Certificate of Added Qualification in Neuroradiology from the American Board of Radiology.

All our hybrid PET-CT scans are interpreted jointly by our nuclear medicine physician Dr. Carlos Jiménez and at least one radiologist, a combination that has set a precedent in Puerto Rico, obtaining the most complete interpretation and the most reliable recommendations.  This team approach allows a comprehensive review of imaging studies performed prior to the PET-CT and optimizes advise for follow-up studies.   Press here for more information.
