Our role
Medical imaging is a set of techniques that make it possible to visualise the anatomy and detect and/or characterise pathological lesions and/or monitor lesions during treatment or following surgery.
Radiologists are also increasingly specialising in therapeutic and surgical acts under radiological control.
Our specialities
The Diagnostic Medical Imaging Department is organised within 5 specialised clinics that correspond to different parts of the human body:
- The Neuroradiology and Head and Neck Imaging Department has recognised expertise in the diagnosis and monitoring of brain tumours, neurological diseases such as epilepsy and multiple sclerosis, and neurovascular diseases of the stroke variety as well as imaging in the ENT field.
- The Osteoarticular Imaging Clinic treats traumas (in athletes and high level athletes in particular) and rheumatic pathologies.
- The Abdominal Imaging Clinic treats the vast field of pathologies affecting the organs of the abdominal cavity: liver, pancreas, spleen, intestines, kidneys and urinary ducts.
- The Thoracic Imaging Clinic treats pathologies of the lungs, mediastinum and heart.
- The Women’s Imaging Clinic screens for and monitors breast cancers and also carries out imaging of the female pelvis.
The department has a number of high tech devices :
- 4 MRI scanners including 2 of 3 Tesla scanners,
- 4 CT scanners,
- 6 ultrasound machines,
- 4 standard radiology tables and 1 digestive radiology table,
- 4 mobile radiology machines,
- 1 mammography unit and 2 ultrasounds dedicated to breast imaging.

Focus
The Diagnostic Medical Imaging Department at the Erasmus Hospital has recognised expertise in a number of fields and diseases and in neuro-oncology in particular. Before operating on a brain tumour, using an MRI 3 Tesla for example, so-called functional imaging and tractography (visual representation of nerve tracts) make it possible to map and thereby avoid the functional zones (motor, language, et.) during neurosurgery.
Research
The Diagnostic Medical Imaging Department at the Erasmus Hospital participates in many clinic studies. It cooperates, among others, with the Neurosciences Department, the Neurosurgery, Rheumatology and Orthopaedic Departments and the Abdominal and Thoracic Medico-Surgical Departments.
