PET-CT with Gallium 68 (DOTATATE) is a specialized imaging test used for the precise detection and staging of neuroendocrine tumors. This diagnostic examination is available at Publio Cordón Memorial Hospital in Pozuelo de Alarcón, Madrid, Spain. The clinic holds Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation, which confirms it meets global standards for patient safety and clinical quality.
The examination uses a specific tracer called Gallium 68 (DOTATATE) to identify tumor cells. This tracer binds to receptors often found on neuroendocrine tumors, making them visible on scans. The Nuclear Medicine Unit performs this test using a hybrid PET-CT scanner. This equipment combines functional data from the PET scan with structural details from the CT scan in a single session.
Publio Cordón Memorial Hospital maintains a specialized unit for diagnostic imaging and nuclear medicine. The facility includes various technologies for functional mapping beyond PET-CT scans. This allows for detailed visualization of metabolic processes within the body. Highlights of the diagnostic department include:
The diagnostic process is conducted on an outpatient basis. Patients receive precise imaging reports that help determine the extent of the condition. You can request a consultation for a PET-CT with Gallium 68 at this Madrid facility through Bookimed.

Publio Cordón Memorial Hospital is a private multi-specialty hospital in Pozuelo de Alarcón, Madrid. It opened in 2005 and operates from a single building with six specialized departments. The facility combines high-precision care with advanced technology and a patient-centered approach. Its infrastructure represents an investment of over 100 million euros.
The hospital holds several international certifications for safety and quality. These include Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation and Leading Hospitals recognition. The clinical team also maintains affiliations with specialized bodies:
In May 2026, the hospital celebrated its official inauguration presided over by Her Royal Highness the Infanta Doña Elena. A dedicated ward was named in her honor. The facility also reached key milestones – its first robotic knee prosthesis surgery and first percutaneous left atrial appendage closure.
The hospital provides advanced care through units for cardiology, neurosurgery, neurology, oncology, and orthopedics. Each department has sub-specialized teams for complex chronic and acute conditions. Specialists focus on minimally invasive methods and real-time monitoring.
The cardiovascular department includes the Hemodynamics and Interventional Cardiology Unit and the Electrophysiology and Arrhythmias Unit. Dr. Felipe Hernández Hernández focuses on complex coronary and structural heart diseases. The team performs advanced procedures:
The hospital uses a hybrid operating room, so surgeons can perform both interventional and open-heart procedures in one space. This setup increases safety during complex structural heart repairs.
The neurosurgery department treats conditions of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system. Dr. Fernando Ruiz Juretschke and Dr. Roberto García Leal specialize in skull base microsurgery and neurovascular procedures. The department runs specialized sub-units:
When tumors sit in sensitive brain areas, surgeons use cortical mapping and neurophysiological monitoring. This lets them remove maximum tumor tissue while preserving speech and mobility.
Oncology services split between Medical Oncology for systemic therapies and the Oncological Surgery Department. Dr. François Quenet leads the surgical oncology team, which handles high-complexity cancer cases. Treatment options include:
The Digestive Tumors Unit uses a multidisciplinary approach to sequence treatments for stomach and esophageal cancers. Surgeons also provide maxillofacial oncology with 3D planning for reconstruction.
The orthopedics department features a Knee Unit and a hip program focused on rapid recovery. Dr. Carlos Encinas leads the Knee Unit, where surgeons performed the hospital's first robot-assisted prosthesis surgery.
The hip program uses a minimally invasive anterior approach for replacements. This technique confirms implant position with intraoperative X-rays – without cutting major muscles.
The hospital's infrastructure includes the Da Vinci 5 surgical robot. This system enables high-precision operations in urology, gynecology, and general surgery. A full imaging suite supports diagnostic accuracy:
Publio Cordón Memorial Hospital has a dedicated international patient team to coordinate care for travelers. Staff assist from the first remote consultation through post-treatment follow-up. Support services include:
The hospital requires a review of medical records before arrival, so patients must submit reports in English or Spanish. After returning home, patients receive structured recommendations and ongoing support through digital channels.
