There are also 3 dedicated breast ultrasound machines which are used for diagnostic breast ultrasound and breast biopsies, all being upgraded to brand new Canon Aplio i700 units in 2027. The Department of Medical Imaging also has 4 recently upgraded MRI scanners, where breast MRI and breast MRI-guided biopsies are performed. A new PET-CT is installed and is now funded and clinically operational, and will encompass a new program in oncology PET.

The hospital houses the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute and the Keenan Research Centre that provides excellent research support and affords many opportunities for radiologists to engage in inter-departmental, collaborative translational research in Medical Imaging.
