Medical imaging
We are a technology-intensive department characterised by rapid development. Our advanced methods and the complex disease patterns we encounter require both solid foundational expertise and highly specialised knowledge across multiple disciplines. By focusing on the whole person, we address diverse healthcare needs.
Our department serves both nationally specialised medical care and regional mandates, forming a key component of Skåne University Hospital’s specialist functions, including cardiac, neurological, maxillofacial, vascular, and paediatric care.
As an accredited centre of excellence, 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
- Paediatric 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 diagnostic procedures annually and caring for around 1,700 patients daily.
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 effort 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, universities, foundations, and clinics. We actively participate in national and international projects and studies, ensuring continuous learning and professional development.
