Multipurpose interventional angiography system from Siemens Healthcare. Situated in the Radiology Department, the Artis zee is being used to support a wide range of imaging procedures and has the capability to support emergency angiographic studies, which may remove the need to transfer sick patients between sites for investigation. The system routinely provides imaging for barium examinations and gastro-intestinal interventional work such as Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatographies (ERCPs).

European Union Invests €3.1m For Breast Cancer Diagnosis
In order to reach an accurate, reliable and rapid diagnosis of breast cancer, The European Union (EU) invests €3.1m to foster cancer diagnostic methods.
The EU will invest the money in the HAMAM (Highly Accurate Breast Cancer Diagnosis through Integration of Biological Knowledge, Novel Imaging Modalities, and Modelling) project which is designing a prototype workstation that integrates multi-modal images, such as mammography, magnetic resonance imaging, with patient information. The workstation will enable physicians to compare different diagnostic images side by side while reviewing patient medical history.
