About Us
The Beauty of Imaging
To look inside the human body has always been one of the great challenges of medical science. We humans have over the centuries strived to observe and understand the processes which govern and regulate our organism, in the conviction that inside the physical body the deepest secrets of life would be concealed.
This exploration is now possible thanks to diagnostic imaging, one of the ten most important discoveries in the entire history of medicine. This series of techniques, a science in itself, combines physics, biology, chemistry, pharmacology and medicine in order to save human lives.
It is a harmonious union of technology and attention to the individual, a sort of contemporary and digital “iatros agathos” (the good doctor, in the words of Hippocrates), which improves the quality of our lives.
Today this journey through the human body takes place hundreds of thousands of times each day, in every part of the world, with the objective of prevention and cure. And as in all everyday journeys, from time to time and for a fleeting moment, something appears that we don’t normally notice.
And so, “journeying” inside the human body we discover the extraordinary complexity of the mechanisms that regulate it, the fascinating perfection of the structures that support it, and the harmony in which it all functions. And it is in these moments, as if by magic, the wonders and the beauty of life appear “from inside”.
