Synthesis provided professional services for an 8,000 squarefoot diagnostic
imaging center for St. Clare’s Hospital. The space was designed to accommodate
a new CT and MRI on the main floor of the hospital, which required special
construction and engineering techniques to segregate adjacent building areas
from the imaging suite. Custom wall/floor shielding for radio frequency fields,
radiation, and sound transmissions were incorporated into the design. Modalities
include MRI, CT, Dexascan, Digital and Traditional Mammography, and Breast
Ultrasound.
Finishes were selected for non-institutional appearance while complying with
the facility’s maintenance requirements. The interior design is contemporary
and conveys a feeling of warmth, while providing durability. The design provides
designated areas for women’s imaging needs and incorporates HIPAA requirements
for patient privacy.
