The Peritus Clinic at Medicon Village provides researchers with access to advanced X-ray equipment
The Peritus Clinic at Medicon Village now offers academic researchers and businesses the opportunity to conduct X-ray examinations in studies. Its modern equipment for positron emission tomography (PET/CT), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will enable groundbreaking Swedish and international medical research in areas such as oncology.
The clinic is one of Sweden's most modern private hospitals with world-class facilities and some of the country's most experienced medical specialists and specialist nurses. Their expertise in prostate cancer complements public healthcare by providing treatments on a timely basis. Since its inception, it has had an explicit ambition to participate in and contribute to research.
Featuring a diagnostic department with digital PET-CT and a 3-tesla MRI, the clinic possesses state-of-the-art technical equipment for imaging diagnostics, offering excellent opportunities for collaboration with research groups and companies to facilitate future innovations and new treatment methods. The clinic enables research and examinations at cost-based pricing. On-site image analysis can also be conducted by their specialists, and if needed, blood sample collection can be coordinated at the hospital.
"We are very pleased to contribute to research with our modern systems, short waiting times, and staff with extensive research experience," says Åsa Dahm, CEO of Peritus Clinic.
Medicon Village, since its establishment in 2012, aims to create an efficient innovation environment for researchers and entrepreneurs centered around human health and improved lives. A fundamental aspect of the concept has been to promote the sharing of resources among its members, including expertise, laboratories, and infrastructure.
"This opportunity aligns perfectly with Medicon Village's ambition to offer a world-class innovation environment where the coordination of resources is key," says Petter Hartman, CEO of Medicon Village Innovation.
The opening of Peritus Clinic in 2020 marked a milestone for Medicon Village, which now captures the entire healthcare chain from prevention and diagnosis to treatment and care within its science park.
