Facilities and Technologies

Innovation at the service of patients

At the Candiolo Cancer Institute we provide patients with the most advanced diagnostic and therapeutic technologies—cutting-edge tools that enable increasingly precise, personalized, and effective treatments, fully integrated with scientific research.

Diagnostic Imaging

Excellent instruments for detailed and accurate images:

    • GE SIGNA Artist 1.5T MRI: high comfort and reduced examination time thanks to AI

    • Philips Spectral CT 7500: ultra-high resolution 3D images in seconds

    • Philips Azurion Clarity iq angiograph: significant reduction in ionizing radiation dose

    • PET GE Omni Legend: superior image quality with reduced exposure time

    • Strong Gamma Camera: maximum flexibility for complex investigations

Robotic and Minimally Invasive Surgery

State-of-the-art systems that increase accuracy and reduce complications and recovery time:

    • Da Vinci Single Port robot: enables complex interventions through a single access with high-definition 3D vision

    • 2 Robot Da Vinci XI: cutting-edge robotic technology for minimally invasive operations

    • Vivascope 2500 ex vivo microscope: enables specimen analysis directly in the operating room, improving diagnosis and therapeutic timeliness

Precision Radiotherapy

Advanced tools enable targeted and safe treatments:

  • 2 Tomotherapy Radixact X9: intensity modulated radiotherapy with real-time correction. We are among the very few centers in Italy with two Radixact X9 Tomotherapy with Clear RT system and RayStation planning
  • Varian TrueBeam linear accelerator: high submillimeter accuracy and synchronized imaging
  • SOMATOM go.Open Pro simulation CT scan: accurate modeling for personalized treatments

High-Capacity, High-Definition Pathology

  • Illumina CE-IVD sequencers and gene panels for targeted sequencing: enable so-called “Comprehensive Genomic Profiling” of different types of solid tumors, improving accuracy in therapeutic decisions
  • P450 3D Histech Histology Preparation Digitizing Scanner: enables digitization of Pathology Anatomy preparations improving the accuracy of preparation-specific evaluations and facilitating consulting and training activities
  • Vivascope 2500 ex vivo microscope: enables real-time diagnosis without the need for histological preparations. It can better assist the accuracy of interventions.

Automated Preparation of Antiblastic Chemotherapy Agents

Loccioni Apoteca Robot: Automates the preparation of chemotherapy drugs, particularly high-volume preparations, using a robotic arm, ensuring maximum safety, accuracy, and quality control of the final product.
