The Women's Imaging Center is a department specifically dedicated to diagnostic imaging of women's health problems. The Center incorporates specialists in this field: radiologists, nurses, radiological technologists, and administrative support, all clearly oriented to the patient and working together with related specialists in a multidisciplinary approach. The Center forms part of the Breast Disease Unit, which encompasses different clinical specialties (Gynecology,  Oncology, Pathology,...) that work together to provide integrated care. We combine state-of-the-art technology with a professional team that has pioneered the incorporation and use of new diagnostic technologies in our country. 

In 1992 we became the first center in the country to offer magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the breast and we started stereotactic core biopsy with 14 G needles. In the year 2000 the core biopsy system was upgraded to a prone digital table with vacuum-assisted core biopsy using 11 G needles.  

We have been performing MRI-guided vacuum-assisted core biopsy since 1997. In 2001 a CAD (computer-assisted diagnosis) system for second reading of mammograms was incorporated.

We have been the referral center for the community breast cancer screening program since 1996.

In 2004 we incorporated two full-field digital mammography units with selenium detectors, and we have been working in a totally digital, filmless environment and storing all mammograms (both screening and regular practice) in a digital archive (PACS) since June 2004. 

In 2005 we incorporated a new system for computer-assisted digital diagnosis (CAD).
