Guide further investigations, including accurately targeted biopsies by assessing the size, shape, and position of abnormalities.
Monitor ongoing conditions, including treatment response in oncology and chronic disease management.
This is just one of the many tools you’ll have access to as part of a well-equipped, forward-thinking hospital environment.
