Radiology

Radiology and nuclear medicine treatment in Germany

The spectrum covers everything from high-resolution imaging to minimally invasive image-guided operations and therapeutic techniques that can also be performed on an outpatient basis.

Radiology services

Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT)
•    Non-invasive imaging of blood vessels using multidetector CT (all areas of body) including multi-dimensional reconstructions for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes
•    CT-guided minimally invasive interventions to obtain body tissue (biopsy), insert drainages and for tumor ablation (radiofrequency ablation), pain therapy and vertebroplasty
•    Virtual endoscopy (e.g. virtual colonography, bronchoscopy)
•    Dental CT

Sonography
•    Sonographic diagnostics of all potential conditions in the thoracic and abdominal areas and in the extremities and soft tissues
•    Color-coded doppler sonography of arteries and veins with flow measurement and evaluation 
•    Sonography-guided puncture for biopsy or drainage insertion
•    Joint sonography
•    Thyroid diagnostics

Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) / Interventions
•    Minimally invasive diagnostics and therapy including recanalisation of stenoses and occlusions by means of balloon dilatation or stent implantation and for lysis in case of vascular diseases 
•    Chemoembolization for local tumor therapy in case of liver tumors
•    Minimally invasive location of bleeding sites and therapy with particles or coils
•    Minimally invasive treatment of uterine fibroids (fibroid embolization); interdisciplinary treatment in collaboration with Gynecology Clinic (head consultant Prof. Dr. U. Ulrich)
•    Image-guided central venous port implantation

Magnetic resonance tomography (imaging)
•    All areas of body
•    Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP)
•    Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA)
•    Special and concluding investigation of space-occupying lesions of the liver with liver-specific CM
•    MR enteroclysis

Conventional radiology
•    Radiological imaging using standardized projection images and special fluoroscopic techniques for all areas of the body: skeleton, head and thorax, chest, abdomen (gastrointestinal examinations, double contrast examinations and examination of the small intestine using the Sellink method), as well as kidneys, gall bladder and bile ducts
•    Expertise and quality control ensure that examinations are performed with minimal exposure to radiation.

Mammography
•    Whole spectrum of mammography, breast sonography and biopsy

RIS/PACS
•    Digital production and storage of images, patient data and corresponding test results
•    Standardized working environment and efficient diagnostic and therapeutic processes with full range of image post-processing methods 

Nuclear medicine
•    Scintigraphic examinations of heart, bones, kidneys and thyroid
