The Ashdod Emergency Medical Center’s Imaging Institute will provide invaluable and immediate diagnostic services for all patients. Located directly beneath the emergency room, it will serve the needs of both emergency room patients and patients referred for diagnosis by the various specialist clinics. The Imaging Institute will occupy an area of 470 sq meters (over 4950 sq ft). It will be constructed in accordance with international mandated safety standards for radiological protection.

The Imaging Institute will be equipped with digital X-ray equipment, a nuclear camera tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The 64 slice MRI equipment is state of the art that represents significant technological progress and innovation for southern Israel. There is currently only one other MRI of this kind in Israel.

The high level and quality of the Imaging Institute will ensure accurate medical diagnoses, guide precise surgical operations and prevent unnecessary procedures.
