New Breath for the Avignonnaise Radiology
Twenty years ago, during the construction of the Henri Duffaut Hospital in the community of Avignon, on the banks of the Durance, we transferred our radiology service at the Hospital St. Marthe (today the University Centre of Avignon, classified as a historical monument by the government) to the first floor of the new hospital. Over the years, our service has been restructured and adapted to the needs of our 980-bed establishment which serves an area with about 600,000 residents. Our radiology service has the following
facilities:
- 5 radiology rooms (two for pediatrics, two for
adults and one for emergencies)
- 3 ultrasound examination rooms
- 1 digital mammography system
- 2 whole-body CT scanners
- 1 MRI (1.5T)
- 1 dedicated general vascular angiographic room.
