The Cremona Hospital will have it soon a very powerful MRI (3 Tesla) which will allow for very high resolution images for even more precise diagnoses, especially in the neurological field. An important and decidedly positive piece of news, which concretizes the strategic management’s intent to invest in technology to improve the quality of performance and increase the attractiveness of the structure.
INSTALLATION WORK
THE works to adapt the premises for the installation of the equipment they will begin on May 27 and continue for five weeks, a minimum amount of time. In this period of time, the MRI scans scheduled in Cremona will be performed at the Oglio Po Hospital. Users will be contacted and informed by telephone by the operators of the Cremona Asst: their booking will be guaranteed on the same day, but in the Casalmaggiore office . The reports, however, can be collected both in Cremona and in Oglio Po.
“We are aware that the change of location may represent an inconvenience and for this we apologize, even if the construction site will remain open for the minimum time necessary and users will be offered the alternative solution” the hospital says.
TOThe Cremona Hospital remains in operation to guarantee all emergencies and services for frail patients and hospitalized people.
SATISFACTION OF MEDICAL DIRECTORS
“Having a 3 tesla MRI at Cremona Hospital is wonderful news” he states Laura Romanini, director of Radiology of Cremona. “These works will allow us to offer better services to citizens. We have organized ourselves to minimize inconvenience to users.
Thanks to the collaboration with Oglio Po Radiology, bookings will be guaranteed day by day, without the need to reschedule appointments, even if the location changes. Our operators will collaborate with their colleagues from Casalmaggiore, to guarantee efficiency and compliance with deadlines, with the same diagnostic and reporting standards. It is a great collective effort that is worth making for such a result.”
As he points out Matteo Passamonti, head of Radiology at Oglio Po, “Patients who will perform the service in Oglio Po can count on a latest generation MRI, which offers excellent performances, identical to those performed in Cremona. Working together will allow us to ensure service to users and faster completion of the work: the benefit is for everyone.”
THE NEW MAGNETIC RESONANCE: CHARACTERISTICS
There Enhanced resonance brings a significant diagnostic advantage: “Increasing the magnetic field to 3 Tesla significantly increases the quality of the images,” he explains Claudia Ambrosi, director of Neuroradiology of Cremona. “This will allow us to make more detailed neuroradiological scans with greater spatial resolution, especially useful for functional techniques. Among these, operative planning for neurosurgery operations, in which extremely reliable brain mapping and digital reconstructions are necessary. More high-performance instrumentation also makes it possible to reduce acquisition times, to the benefit of the patient’s well-being, especially in the case of children, bedridden, neurological or non-cooperating patients.”
