Radiology & Medical Imaging

Seeing clearly to treat precisely.

The radiology and medical imaging department provides the images doctors need to diagnose and follow their patients. It was one of the hospital’s first four services and has grown into a department with digital X-ray rooms, ultrasound and Doppler, a CT scanner and mammography.

Radiologists and imaging technicians perform examinations for women, children and adults, including obstetric ultrasound throughout pregnancy and imaging adapted to newborns and young children.

Radiation safety for mothers and children

We follow the principle of using the lowest dose needed for a good diagnosis. Ultrasound, which uses no radiation, is preferred whenever possible in pregnancy and in children. X-ray and CT protocols are adapted to children’s size, and protective equipment is used for patients and staff.
