Center of Advanced Technology
The Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center continuously invests a great deal of resources in order to maintain its position at the forefront of technologically-advanced medical centers, acquiring and utilizing the latest medical equipment.  Most notably, the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center contains:

 

A Gastroenterology Institute, providing an advanced Endoscopy Unit for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures:

  • ERCP, EUS, Confocal Colonoscopy, etc., a Motility Lab and a Liver Unit which treats patients with fatty liver and performs noninvasive procedures for evaluating liver fibrosis.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A cutting-edge Imaging Division performing more than 350,000 imaging examinations per year.  The Division includes a state-of-the-art computerized tomography (CT) unit which operates advanced CT scanners with trained radiologists who interpret results around the clock. The CT unit's services include, among others:

  • Virtual, non-invasive colonoscopy utilizing high-speed multislice CT scanners to help screen, diagnose and prevent colon cancer.  The procedure - which has proved to be almost as accurate as conventional colonoscopy - provides 2D and 3D images of the colon without the risks and discomfort of conventional colonoscopy.  Results are immediately reviewed by specialist radiologists, and if necessary, the patient immediately undergoes endoscopic colonoscopy.
  • Virtual, non-invasive Cardiovascular CT which provides a 3D picture of the patient's heart and blood vessels, thereby allowing the cardiologist to evaluate arterial blockages that may require intervention.
  • A Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Institute equipped with the latest MRI technology, providing precise images of body organs, central nervous system (head, neck and spine) and the body's joints, including cartilages.  A significant feature of the MRI technology is its ability to provide precise c and mapping of the brain in real time, thus minimizing injury to healthy brain tissue during surgery.
  • Interventional Radiology (Angiography) for the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of conditions such as blood vessel malformations, as well as diseases and obstructions throughout the body, including aneurysms, deep-vein thrombosis, varicose veins, liver and bile duct obstructions, peripheral arterial diseases, vascular diseases, blockage in kidney arteries, etc.  Angiography is also used to treat benign and malignant tumors, to place dialysis grafts, and to catheterize central veins.
  • Neuroradiology service for the diagnosis and treatment of abnormalities and diseases of the central nervous system (head, neck and spine).
  • A Comprehensive Ultrasound Unit using the most advanced 2 and 3-dimensional ultrasound and Doppler technologies.
  • A Pediatric Radiology Unit providing all specialized pediatric diagnostic imaging examinations.

 

An Institute of Nuclear Medicine which performs scanning examinations using radioactive dyes that enable imaging of disease processes, including PET-CT scans.

 

Over 20 laboratories which provide extensive testing in all medical fields, including clinical biochemistry, hematology, microbiology and endocrinology.
