Dr. Iván Artero Leads the Diagnostic Imaging Service at Quirónsalud Marbella Hospital
Dr. Iván Artero, the head of the Diagnostic Imaging Service at Quirónsalud Marbella Hospital, has announced that the hospital has invested in new infrastructure and state-of-the-art technology in the field of Diagnostic Imaging. The facilities, located on the -1 floor of the Singlehome building, are now operational. They cover an exclusive area of 2,000 square meters for diagnostic tests.
Quirónsalud Marbella Hospital at the Forefront of Diagnostic Imaging
The healthcare project of this service places the Marbella health center at the forefront in the field of Diagnostic Imaging. Dr. Artero explains that the new facilities complement the existing ones in the center. Both spaces are maintained to optimize patient care processes. Technologically, the center has added a simple radiology team, two high-end ultrasound machines, a computed tomography/orthopantomograph, and soon a high-field latest generation magnetic resonance.
Architectural Design and Distribution of Spaces
Dr. Artero also highlights the architectural distribution and arrangement of spaces as a differential and relevant factor in care. In addition to technological improvements, new spacious and comfortable waiting rooms have been implemented that provide a welcoming and calm environment, thus helping to reduce stress and anxiety before diagnostic procedures. These improvements reflect the hospital’s commitment to patient-centered care and excellence in health care.
Crucial Role of Diagnostic Imaging Service in Healthcare
The Diagnostic Imaging Service plays a crucial role in healthcare by providing tools that allow early and accurate detection of diseases. This ability is essential to start early treatment and to plan appropriate and personalized treatment strategies. According to the expert, the results of diagnostic imaging tests allow doctors to determine the extent of a disease, assess the patient’s response to therapy, and adjust treatment plans as needed. By allowing more accurate and early diagnoses, more effective interventions can be made, which can lead to a lower incidence of complications and better outcomes for patients.
Dr. Iván Artero Specializes in Interventional Radiology
Dr. Iván Artero specializes in Interventional Radiology, a branch of radiology that uses advanced medical imaging techniques (fluoroscopes, computed tomography, ultrasounds…) as a reference to direct medical instruments within the body. He is distinguished by performing minimally invasive procedures, which means that they are performed through small incisions or needle insertions in the skin, instead of open surgical procedures. Some examples are tumor embolization and bleeding, angioplasty to treat obstructions in blood vessels, catheter placement for fluid drainage, or radiofrequency ablation of tumors, among others. These procedures carry several benefits for patients, such as faster recovery times, less pain, and less risk of complications with excellent clinical results.
Inclusion of Teleradiology Expands Hospital’s Diagnostic Capabilities
Another highlight is the inclusion of teleradiology, expanding the capacity of Quirónsalud Marbella Hospital to offer accurate diagnoses. In this regard, the service coordinator, Francisco Pacheco, emphasizes the benefits provided by the latest technological advances in allowing a precise image to be obtained in our center and interpreted remotely by expert radiologists, ensuring quick access to specialized expertise at all times and efficiency in medical care.
Highly Qualified and Experienced Team at Quirónsalud Marbella Hospital
The team of experts at the Diagnostic Imaging Service of Quirónsalud Marbella Hospital is made up of specialist doctors in radiodiagnosis, technicians, and highly qualified and experienced nursing professionals. These professionals are committed to clinical excellence and personalized care, ensuring that each patient receives the best possible care.
New Facilities Enhance Hospital’s Service Portfolio
The opening of these new facilities expands and complements the hospital’s service portfolio and allows for differentiated patient care. The new facilities will serve outpatients, leaving the hospital facilities exclusively for inpatients (except for CT and general emergencies). The integration of the new equipment improves care circuits, waiting times, and patient accessibility to tests.
