Clinic Genolier - Institute of medical imaging and nuclear medicine

Nowadays medical imaging is a central element in general medicine and in most medical and surgical specialisms. Clinique de Genolier is one of the pioneers in this field.

“Conventional” imaging using X-rays has been joined by more complex and more accurate technologies such as the multidetector CT scanner, MRI, ultrasound, mammography, panoramic dental radiology and measurement of bone mass density. Powerful software makes the diagnostic process considerably more reliable in breast medicine, chest medicine and gastroenterology. Image-processing units with high computing power and virtual simulation software visualize organs which were formerly inaccessible without invasive exploration.

Clinique de Genolier has made some major investments
to bring its technical platform to the highest standard. It is probably one of the most powerful diagnostic platforms in Europe today. These facilities are rounded out by a nuclear medicine system which follows the progress of a radioactive marker “programmed” for the organ being investigated through the body. The Institute has a state-of-the-art PET-CT scanner which produces images of unparalleled precision and is used primarily to detect and monitor disease states in oncology.
