Thoracic and Osteoarticular Imaging

Monitor and diagnose: precise imaging for every aspect of chest health.

Presentation of the cluster

The Thoracic Imaging division is dedicated to the in-depth evaluation of the organs of the thoracic region (lungs, heart, and respiratory tract). Thanks to cutting-edge technologies and a specialized team, we offer precise diagnostics to detect and monitor pulmonary, cardiac, and thoracic pathologies. Whether for early detection, medical monitoring or investigation of respiratory symptoms, we assure you rapid and reliable care.


Types of exams offered

We offer a full range of specialized tests, designed to monitor and optimize your health.

Ultra low-dose chest scanner

The ultra-low dose CT scan allows effective monitoring of pulmonary nodules, while the cardiac CT offers exceptional quality and speed, without requiring a beta-blocker for the patient.

Advanced imaging technique that uses a radiation dose 20 times lower than that of a conventional scanner, while maintaining optimal image quality. This examination is particularly suitable for monitoring pulmonary nodules and other thoracic pathologies requiring regular checks. With this significant reduction in radiation exposure, we ensure effective monitoring while minimizing radiation risks. ​

Duration: approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Non-invasive. ​

Indications: monitoring of pulmonary nodules, evaluation of pulmonary pathologies, post-operative monitoring.

Lung Cancer Screening

Lung Cancer Screening Lung cancer screening relies on the use of low-dose chest CT scans to detect lung abnormalities early, often asymptomatic, in people at risk. This screening makes it possible to identify lung cancers at an early stage, where the chances of curative treatment are higher. By providing precise imaging and regular monitoring, we help improve survival rates while ensuring that radiation exposure is minimized. ​

Duration: approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Non-invasive. ​

Indications: people at high risk (smokers, ex-smokers, workers exposed to chemicals or solvents), regular monitoring for early detection.
