The Imaging Centre (TIC) is a joint venture between several associates, including The Bahamas Heart Centre (BHC), The Bahamas Imaging Centre (BIC), The Bahamas Imaging Centre: Nuclear Division (BICND), The CT Centre (CTC), and The Breast Centre (TBC) at The Medical Pavilion Bahamas as well as The Bahamas Interventional Cardiology Centre (BICC) at Doctors Hospital.
These independent yet associated imaging centres all lend their imaging capabilities to the support of screening, diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in managing various pathologies, especially cardiovascular disease and cancer, thereby lending significant support to the primary entities of The Pavilion, especially The Heart and Cancer Centres.

The Imaging Centre plans to close its comprehensive loop of imaging modalities with an Open MRI Scanner and PET Scanning under consideration.
At The Imaging Centre, each referral is treated as an Imaging Consultation. The Centre has also been an innovator in The Bahamas and the Caribbean with the introduction of telemedicine and teleradiology, particularly with its nuclear medicine and cardiology programs, all the way back in 1994. This remains an integral part of our imaging support, with continued enhancements expected over the years.
Probably one of the most extensive private facilities in the Caribbean region, TIC provides a vast array of state-of-the-art imaging modalities under one roof. The Imaging Centre’s spectrums of services include, but are not limited to:
