What is your opinion about the current state of this medical speciality? What about its future?
Radiology is a contrasting speciality of medicine On the one hand, some of its techniques and devices have drastically evolved, such as the scan while others have remained virtually unaltered (barium enema and conventional x-rays).
Radiology faces the challenge of combining this technological evolution and its profitability, since these advancements often require high cost devices, which are not integrated into the market as quickly as desired. In any case, this speciality is moving towards the intensive use of technology and preventive medicine.
What do you like the most about this career? What about CMED?
Being able to help patients by means of Diagnostic Imaging is what I love the most about my career. Each patient is unique, and consequently also different. Therefore, our daily work is never a routine one, every case poses a new challenge and every little detail obtained from diagnostic radiology adds up in order to reach a final accurate diagnosis.
Regarding this project, first I would like to highlight the great professionalism and humanity displayed by its team, as well as its agility in diagnosing and treating patients pathologies, thanks to the new technologies available at the centre. The size of the centre and the spirit behind its team fosters a friendly and humane assistance for every patient, thus resulting in a very comfortable atmosphere.
