The investment made is 477,950 € and is part of the INVEAT Plan (Plan de Inversiones en Equipos de Alta Tecnología).
The Hospital de Inca now has a new state-of-the-art CAT scanner, very different from the old one that was installed at the centre, and which represents a leap in quality in the diagnostic tests that are already being carried out.

The new CAT scanner has the better image quality and takes less time to acquire the image. This is important because it is now possible to perform vascular studies that could not be done with the removed equipment. The new CT also produces less radiation than the old one and allows direct biopsies with on-the-spot vision, something that could not be done with the old machine either.

The new CAT scanner represents an investment of 477,950 €, foreseen within the INVEAT Plan, charged to the European Next Generation EU funds of the Ministry of Health’s Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan.

The main objective of the INVEAT Plan is to increase overall survival and quality of life by diagnosing diseases in their early stages and making rapid therapeutic intervention possible, with special attention to the pathologies with the greatest present and future health impact, such as chronic, oncological, rare and neurological diseases.

Among the specific objectives of the Plan is to reduce the obsolescence of the National Health System’s high-tech equipment, with the aim of guaranteeing the renewal of 100% of the equipment that is twelve years old or more and, additionally, linear accelerators that are between ten and eleven years old, in line with the recommendations of scientific societies.
