It was the first medical center in the country to acquire the Cardiac Cathlab System with a flat panel detector. Its combined Gamma Camera SPECT/CT machine is the first and only one in the Philippines. Its Heart Rate Variability (HRV) facility is the first of its kind in the country. St. Luke's had the first operational 64-slice CT scanner in the Philippines. St. Luke's was also the first medical facility in the country to offer intravascular ultrasound (IVUS).
