HYGEIA Hospital operates the largest imaging complex in Greece, housing 62 ultrasound machines. The facility has held JCI accreditation since 2010 for international safety standards. Specialists perform transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsies using hybrid MRI-ultrasound fusion imaging. This technology overlays prior MRI slices on real-time ultrasound to position the biopsy needle. This method helps detect lesions that are not visible on standard ultrasound. In 33% of their diagnosed cases, lesions were only visible via this MRI-guided approach.
