Radiology and nuclear medicine treatment in Germany
The Radiology Clinics and Nuclear Medicine Clinic operated by Paul Gerhardt Diakonie offer the entire spectrum of radiological examination procedures 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
