San Cristóbal Cancer Institute Now Offers Cutting-Edge SIGNA™ Architect Technology

San Cristóbal Cancer Institute is proud to announce the inauguration of the highly anticipated SIGNA™ Architect machine in June, marking a significant milestone in our commitment to providing state-of-the-art medical imaging technology to our patients. This revolutionary machine represents a leap forward in diagnostic capabilities, allowing for more accurate and detailed imaging that can greatly improve the effectiveness of cancer diagnoses and treatment planning. This technology will allow us to provide our new diagnostics service: MPMRI, or multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging, a powerful diagnostic tool used in various medical fields. It combines multiple MRI sequences to provide detailed information about different aspects of tissues and organs. MPMRI is commonly used for the detection, localization, staging, and monitoring of various conditions, including prostate cancer, breast cancer, liver diseases, neurological disorders, and musculoskeletal abnormalities. Its multi-dimensional approach enhances diagnostic accuracy and guides treatment decision-making.

MPMRI is a crucial tool in the management of prostate cancer patients. It offers multiple benefits throughout the patient journey. MPMRI aids in the detection and localization of suspicious lesions within the prostate gland, facilitating targeted biopsies. It plays a vital role in staging, accurately assessing tumor extent and involvement of adjacent structures. This information guides treatment planning, allowing for personalized approaches based on tumor characteristics. MPMRI is also valuable in active surveillance, monitoring disease progression over time. It helps identify significant changes and determines the need for intervention. Additionally, MPMRI assists in detecting tumor recurrence, enabling early identification and timely intervention. In summary, MPMRI enhances risk stratification, treatment decision-making, and patient outcomes in prostate cancer management.
