It is an advanced miteran.gr CT study used to detect cancer and polyps in the large bowel. The cutting-edge technology of the 3 Tesla system assists in performing advanced imaging studies, such as multiparametric prostate MRI, MR spectroscopy of the brain, functional MRI (fMRI) of the brain and MR Tractography.

Parents, the child’s pediatrician and the therapists receive a detailed written report of the assessment in order to create a relationship of trust and confidentiality, necessary for the family guidance and the follow-up of the child.
