Clinic Engineering

For our hospitals scheduled for 2024 (Novo Barra, Guarulhos and Alphaville), in 2023, we acquired three Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanners with the Sealed Magnets project, which do not require large quantities of helium gas to maintain the magnetic field active.

The investment was made after a successful experience with a similar scan installed at the São Luiz Anália Franco unit (São Paulo/SP) in 2021, and after the manufacturer improved this technology. Through this initiative, we will reduce the cost of replacing helium gas in the scans, in addition to reducing its weight by approximately one ton. This enables the feasibility of new service projects with magnetic resonance imaging, thus boosting our quality of care for our patients. Further acquisitions are planned for future hospital projects.
