Clínica Puerto Varas
Setting New Standards in Patient-Centric Healthcare

Advancements in radiology technologies have played a key role in enhancing accuracy in diagnosis, allowing professionals to make better-informed decisions.

Clínica Puerto Varas, a pioneer in radiology with over 10 decades of expertise, is seamlessly integrating cutting-edge magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) into its services to elevate patient care and accessibility throughout Puerto Varas, Chile. It is dedicated to excellence across all facets of operations, guaranteeing safe and high-quality patient services.

“Our primary objective is to enhance diagnostic accuracy while prioritizing patient comfort and convenience by embracing innovative technologies,” says Hans Vidal Navarro, general manager at Clínica Puerto Varas.

Its comprehensive healthcare services are augmented by the state-of-the-art Philips MR 5300 1.5 Tesla magnetic resonator, which enhances imaging proficiency and equips it with exceptional diagnostic capabilities, raising the bar for healthcare services. Clínica Puerto Varas uses this advanced equipment to conduct automated and highly personalized scans, generating top-notch images while reducing MRI scan durations by 50 percent. The increased scan rate allows it to accommodate more than double the number of patients than before.

The innovative BlueSeal magnet, exclusive to Philips, facilitates helium-free operations, eliminating the need for recharging and providing a cost-effective solution. This sustainable approach aligns with the clinic’s commitment to environmental responsibility and cost efficiency.

Clínica Puerto Varas features a 128-slice CT scanner for advanced computed tomography procedures, complementing the existing MRI services. It also houses a cutting-edge mammography system equipped with tomosynthesis technology. This system delivers high-definition 3D breast images, leading to a remarkable 15 percent improvement in breast cancer detection, a significant stride in early diagnosis and timely treatment.

The clinic brings advanced imaging services closer to regional communities. Patients no longer need to travel long distances to Santiago for top-notch imaging services, making healthcare more accessible and affordable. Its competitive pricing assures high-quality services reach a broader population, including those with public insurance, promoting equitable access to essential medical care.

A team of highly trained imaging technicians guarantees the optimal operation of the advanced equipment. An extensive, two-week training session in Santiago with the Philips team offers in-depth courses, including on-site guidance from their specialists. This enhances the proficiency of its technicians, providing them necessary training in the latest technology and enabling them to uphold stringent patient care standards. This commitment to continuous education ensures patients receive superior care from highly experienced professionals.
Clínica Puerto Varas prioritizes comprehensive healthcare across preventive, diagnostic, therapeutic and rehabilitative domains, assuring secure and exceptional care that meets global benchmarks. Its ambition to be the region’s leading medical facility drives the clinic to continually raise the bar for medical excellence, patient satisfaction and healthcare accessibility.
