An Ultramodern Imaging Department
Our department is equipped with the most
innovative technology. Completely digitized, from chest x-rays to
advanced cardiovascular techniques and ultrasound, it meets the
highest quality standards that require specific training provided
entirely by the MHI. Our radiology technologists work in close
collaboration with a very specialized team of doctors and
professionals in a stimulating environment.
Most members of our team are specialized technologists.
Under the supervision of cardiologists and radiologists, they
perform cardiovascular ultrasounds, venous and arterial dopplers,
abdomen ultrasounds, thoracic, abdominal, cardiac and cerebral CT
scans, and cardiac and vascular MRIs. They assist radiologists
during angiography procedures and work in cath labs. The work is
done mostly during the day shift, since only one permanent
technologist is available to provide service during the evening
shift. At night, an emergency on-call system is in place.
The MHI research centre offers technologists the
opportunity to participate in diverse activities. Our goal is to
provide high quality health care services.
The Research Centre gives technologists the
opportunity to become involved in various studies, using computer
software to take very precise measurements of the coronary
arteries, coronary bypasses, and sometimes other vessels. These
measurements can be taken from digitized angiography images or
intravascular echograms. Our objective is to ensure the well
being of our patients and provide them with the best possible
care.
