Efforts to decarbonise imaging often prioritise high-energy modalities, yet a comprehensive life cycle assessment of adult diagnostic ultrasound in a university hospital shows a different profile. Most greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were not tied to scanner manufacture or electricity, but to routine supplies and linens used around examinations....Read more

Climate, health and competitiveness are converging pressures on European healthcare, with medical technology central to both the challenge and the solution. According to MedTech Europe, healthcare generates about 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Medical technology accounts for an estimated 15–25% of that footprint, equivalent to roughly...Read more

How to Reduce the Carbon Fingerprint to Achieve Harmony Between Health and Sustainability Hospitals protect public health but are responsible for 4.4% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Sustainable practices, such as using ScopeCO2 to measure carbon footprints, allow hospitals to identify their impact sources, structure a strategy to reduce...Read more
