In July 2024, the Polydoros P. Abatzis Hospital in Mytilene on the Greek island of Lesbos completed the installation of a state-of-the-art uMR 670 MRI scanner from United Imaging Healthcare. This advanced technology represents a major step forward in medical diagnostics, offering exceptional accuracy and image quality.
The hospital in Mytilene was founded by Dr. Polydoros P. Abatzis, a pioneer in the field of radiology since 1958. The facility offers a wide range of diagnostic imaging services, including digital radiography, mammography, CT and ultrasound scans. Using state-of-the-art technology, it provides high quality, reliable diagnostic services with a focus on individual patient care.
The installation of the uMR 670 MRI scanner at the Polydoros P. Abatzis Hospital is the result of the facility’s long-standing efforts to improve its standards of medical care. Known for its commitment to providing the highest quality medical services, the hospital can now offer its patients access to the latest technological advances in diagnostic imaging. As a result of this acquisition, residents of Mytilene and the surrounding areas will have access to advanced diagnostic examinations locally, which will significantly speed up the treatment process and improve its effectiveness.
The uMR 670 MRI scanner installed at the hospital uses innovative technology to provide a detailed assessment of the structure and function of the heart and other organs. The system’s high sensitivity and accuracy allows doctors to accurately diagnose a wide range of conditions, which is crucial for successful treatment. In addition, the technology can identify and monitor inflammation, tumours and lesions that were previously difficult to detect.
This advanced MRI system is based on the innovative uAIFI platform, which harnesses the potential of artificial intelligence to deliver unparalleled clinical performance. By integrating sophisticated algorithms with image reconstruction, the revolutionary uDeep Recon technology ensures superior image sharpness and quality, greatly enhancing diagnostic confidence.
The uMR 670 features a wide bore design and incorporates patient-focused technologies such as uAIFI EasySense to make MRI examinations more comfortable. This 1.5T system offers image sharpness similar to that of a 3.0T system. Its wide field of view enables allows anatomical areas to be covered in a single scan, eliminating the need for patient repositioning or multiple scans.
