Modern equipment for effective diagnoses

Radiologie-mrt

Our clinic´s radiological specialist centre offers modern image diagnostics with and without x-rays. The equipment is a highlight, with an extremely modern magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner. A great advantage of the MRI scanner is that no x-rays are needed to generate images. Our clinic is equipped with conventional x-ray machines, a spiral computer tomography scanner and a fluoroscopy angiography unit for further radiological diagnostics. Our clinic conducts minimally invasive radiological procedures with the aid of image guidance methods, so-called interventional radiology, e.g., for pain syndromes.

Diagnostic specialities

• Emergency diagnostics for acute injuries using x-rays, CTs and MRIs
• Imaging diagnostics for strokes using CT and MRI scanners
• Diagnostics for skeletal diseases and diseases of the soft tissues using high resolution MRI scans
• (Further) diagnostics for tumours using CTs and MRIs
• Non-invasive diagnostics for vascular diseases using MRIs and CTs
• Diagnostic tests for diseases of the bowel and/or defecation disorders using MRI

Therapeutic and/or interventional specialities: Tumours

• The taking of tissue samples (biopsies) from organs in the chest and abdomen as well as soft tissues under CT monitoring
• Placement of chemotherapy ports for cancer patients
• Treatment of tumours using heat (thermoablation) or, e.g., procedures to block blood vessels (embolisation)

Inflammatory diseases

• The placement of drainage tubes for inflammatory conditions (abscesses) in the chest and abdominal regions and in the soft tissues
• The extraction of pathogens from inflamed tissue for microbiological diagnostic tests

Dialysis patients

• Placement of dialysis catheters for patients with chronic renal failure

Pain therapy

• Periradicular therapy and facet blocks when signs of wear and tear are present in the spine and the vertebral joints
• Sympatholysis (partial block of the autonomic nervous system), e.g., with vascular diseases
