Initially, the ‘PTE Smart’ project was launched with a 255,000 euro investment from the Sicilian Region. This initiative focuses on enhancing emergency cardiology networks in Pachino, Rosolini, and Palazzolo Acreide through telemedicine and integrated biomedical equipment to reduce intervention times for acute myocardial infarction. This was followed by a much larger modernization plan exceeding 5.5 million euros. This broader investment includes the installation of a digital PET/TC scanner at the Umberto I Hospital in Syracuse, expected to be operational by December 2026, and upgrades to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems. The plan also covers the acquisition of 70 electrocardiographs, 90 defibrillator monitors, and new multidisciplinary ultrasound machines to reduce patient waiting times and the need for travel outside the province. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-02: ASP di Siracusa invests 5.5 million euros in medical technology upgrades The ASP di Siracusa is investing over 5.5 million euros to upgrade medical technology, including a new digital PET/TC scanner at Umberto I Hospital to improve oncology diagnostics and reduce patient travel. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/asp-di-siracusa-invests-55-million-euros-in-medical-technology-upgrades ### 2026-08-22: Asp Siracusa launches PTE Smart telemedicine project Asp Siracusa has launched the ‘PTE Smart’ project, using telemedicine and new biomedical technology to accelerate emergency cardiac interventions in Pachino, Rosolini, and Palazzolo Acreide. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/asp-siracusa-launches-pte-smart-telemedicine-project --- Cite as: Asp Siracusa medical technology upgrades.
