The mission of the Diagnostic Department, composed of eight medical services, is to provide high quality medical diagnoses, therapeutics, therapeutic procedures and specialised clinical consultations, in the shortest possible time and at an acceptable cost, in order to guide patient care and contribute to therapeutic decisions and actions.

The main mission of the Radiology Department is to carry out diagnostic radiology examinations and therapeutic interventions under the guidance of various imaging techniques. This clinical activity includes approximately 220,000 examinations and 5,000 diagnostic and therapeutic procedures per year, a significant part of which is provided in a 24-hour rhythm. The medical team of the Radiology Department also leads more than 300 multidisciplinary meetings per month, on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.
