Imaging & Surgery It Matters Most When Your Problem is Hidden Taking 20 million images annually, Sunnybrook combines the best of diagnostic imaging and surgical technology to accurately find the problem and provide focused treatment to patients. Having access to a range of images simultaneously gives our physicians the ability to detect critical conditions and illnesses at their earliest and most curable stage. The expectation today is that many surgical procedures will be performed with image guidance, enabling Sunnybrook physicians to conduct a range of less-invasive, highly targeted medical therapies that translate into better and more comfortable care for patients. Whether saving the seconds that matter in the case of a traumatic injury or identifying breast cancer three years before a lump can be felt, medical imaging will be our physicians’ diagnostic tool of choice. Imaging will be the triage of the future. Hybrid machines that combine the benefits of all imaging technologies with the tools that physicians can use to conduct procedures mean fewer complications, shorter hospital stays, and, in many cases, no surgery. With your help to acquire new imaging equipment and surgical space, we will raise the standards of imaging everywhere and provide a view of disease never seen before.
