NEW technology is set to expand Quironsalud’s diagnostic capabilities and enable the development of advanced protocols in cardiology and neurology.
Quironsalud Marbella Hospital has strengthened its diagnostic capabilities with an MRI scanner, consolidating its commitment to care based on precision, patient safety, and clinical excellence.
These innovations ‘represent a step forward for the hospital, allowing it to tackle highly complex examinations with greater reliability, especially in two key areas: cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cardiac MRI) and advanced neuroradiology,’ explains Dr. Iván Artero, head of the Diagnostic Imaging Department.
Cardiac MRI: a tool of high clinical value
One of the pillars of this technological update is cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, a technique that has become the gold standard for studying multiple heart diseases.
As the specialist explains, cardiac MRI ‘provides differential information by allowing us to assess not only the anatomy but also cardiac function, a key element in certain diagnoses.’
Thanks to this capability, the center strengthens its diagnostic response in diseases such as myocarditis, cardiomyopathies, ischemia, or heart attack, as well as in pathologies where tissue characterization is decisive for monitoring and risk stratification.

Another area where technology represents a significant advance is advanced neuroradiology, a field in which magnetic resonance imaging has established itself as a test for studying multiple neurological pathologies.
“Having detailed and reliable information not only makes it easier to identify a lesion, but also to characterize it more accurately and better guide the clinical approach from the early stages”, Dr. Artero points out.
The new MRI allows for the development of advanced protocols that are applicable to cerebral vascular pathology, nervous system tumors, inflammatory and infectious processes, demyelinating diseases, epilepsy, cognitive disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
“Taken together, this translates into a tangible improvement in clinical practice: greater diagnostic confidence, better therapeutic guidance, and optimization of the care pathway,” says Dr. Artero.
Benefits for multiple specialties
Beyond neurology and cardiology, this new technology allows Quirónsalud Marbella Hospital to improve its diagnostic capabilities in a wide range of healthcare areas, especially in the musculoskeletal field, which includes joint and spinal disorders and sports injuries.
With this addition, the hospital is advancing in its commitment to more precise, safer medicine focused on clinical excellence.
