Low-dose radiation, high-quality images, 3D reconstruction: three excellent reasons that have propelled the EOS to the position of being an outstanding radiology device. What does it do? Detects scoliosis, pelvic malformations and even alignment disorders affecting the lower extremities. 
The largest Swiss Maternity, with 4,127 births in 2013, has eight new delivery rooms since last year, two of which provide a “natural childbirth” environment. For the comfort of mothers: grips, balls and bathtubs are available. 
Comfort, intimacy and high technology for patients. Panoramic view and ergonomics for the medical and care staff. The new osteodensitometry system at HUG consisting of two identical machines installed parallel to each other, performs ultra-precise exams needed for the diagnosis and follow-up of osteoporosis. 
To treat cancer effectively, the Radiation Oncology Division has a latest-generation linear accelerator. This cutting-edge equipment is highly precise, notably for radiological surgery on brain tumors, reducing the risk of touching neighboring healthy tissue. 
The new SPECT/CT scanner, installed in March 2013 in the Nuclear Medicine Division, is a fast and high-performance machine. It combines two cutting-edge technologies, providing a 3D view of the body and an image of cell activity in a single pass. Superimposing these images allows the physician to make a more precise diagnosis. 
The 3D navigation system, used to help in treating diseases - in this case scoliosis in a child - provides a very high degree of safety. The orientation of the instruments and implants in three spatial planes relies on the CT-scan imaging. 
The digitalization of the emergency room radiology is beneficial to patients: shorter exam periods, more reliable radiation doses and better quality images. Three new radiology rooms equipped with direct digital technology opened in April 2013. 
The SimulHUG program acquired the SimMan 3G, a dummy filled with electronic equipment. It automatically reacts to the injection of a drug, blinks, convulses and even sweats. Objective: improve the quality of care and the skills of the staff during training sessions that simulate operations or emergency situations. 
Added comfort for patients, increased admissions capacity and an improvement in ergonomics for the care providers: the new intensive care facilities at HUG provide optimal quality care. 
The new urology integrated room offers the surgeon video imaging and radiology in high definition, both at the same time: a unique technology in Switzerland.
