Medical imaging
We are a high-tech, future-oriented organisation operating at a fast pace of development. Our advanced methods and the complex disease patterns we encounter daily demand a high level of foundational expertise and specialised knowledge across multiple areas. By focusing on the whole person, we address diverse healthcare needs.
Our department serves both national specialised medical care and regional mandates, forming an integral part of Skåne University Hospital’s specialist services, including cardiac, neurological, mandibular, vascular, and paediatric care.
As an accredited centre of expertise, we encompass a broad range of modalities, such as CT, MRI, interventional radiology, ultrasound, conventional imaging, and isotope operations. Our activities balance acute and planned examinations, organised into six organ-specific sections:
- Emergency radiology
- Thoracic radiology
- Pediatric radiology
- Musculoskeletal radiology
- Gastrointestinal and urological radiology
- Neuroradiology (including dental radiology), clinical physiology, nuclear medicine, and clinical neurophysiology
We are committed to quality and accessibility, conducting approximately 450,000 examinations annually and caring for around 1,700 patients every day.
Research
Research in medical imaging is a cornerstone of our work, fully integrated into our daily operations and prioritised at all levels. It represents a collaborative, symbiotic approach that fosters pride and enthusiasm among our staff. This research drives the development of tomorrow's diagnostic and therapeutic methods, benefiting a wide range of patient groups.
We shape the future in close collaboration with technicians, engineers, physicists, public authorities, trade and industry, research institutes, colleges and universities, foundations, and clinics. We actively participate in national and international projects and studies, which necessitate continuous learning and professional development.
