Since its inception nearly 30 years ago, the Computerized Imaging Institute (Cii) has remained the unchallenged pioneer of Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in the country. With recognized radiologists and state-of-the-art technology, the Best just keeps getting better.

All Systems Normal at Cii

The 64-slice Multidetector CT scan, the 1.5T Hdx MRI as well as the Digital Subtraction Angiogram machines at the Computerized Imaging Institute (Cii) are OPERATIONAL AND HAVE NOT GONE DOWN. Makati Medical Center was misinformed about the status of our machines – the result of miscommunication between Cii and MMC.

Doctors and patients are advised only to refer to the Cii website (www.cii.ph), Cii personnel or to contact the ER at MMC and to speak to an accredited staff member (physician or nurse), for a proper status report about the working status of Cii’s machines. You may visit us at the ground floor, rear hallway of Makati Medical Center, Legaspi Village, Makati City, Metro Manila, Philippines. All our contact information are also on this website. {Read More}
