The range of services of the Department of Radiology and Neuroradiology includes all radiological and in particular neuroradiological diagnostics and therapy in the outpatient and inpatient areas. The Head of the department is Professor Friedhelm Brassel, Specialist in diagnostic radiology

In addition to conventional x-ray examinations of body parts, modern tomography techniques such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are available. Radiological and neuroradiological imaging for diagnostic purposes has a high priority. Increasingly, however, the so-called interventional procedures in the hospital also treat diseases with minimally invasive treatments.

Specialties:

• Interventional therapy and vascular diagnostics
• Endovascular treatment of cerebral artery aneurysms, cerebral and spinal vascular malformations, eg arteriovenous malformations and dura thistles
• Diagnosis and therapy of cerebrovascular diseases in infants and children (Vena Galeni Malformation (VGM), Dural Sinus Malformation (DSM), Aneurysms).
• Endovascular treatment and surgical preparation of tumors of the head and neck region and of the body trunk
• Elimination of cerebral arterial narrowing by angioplasty and stenting
• Recanalization of cerebral vessels in acute stroke
• Interventional treatment of soft tissue angiomas, venous malformations, and lymphangiomas in the head and neck area, body trunk, genital area and extremities
• Noninvasive imaging of vessels and vascular diseases by MRI and CT
• CT and MRI-guided punctures of mass lesions, tissue harvesting, neurolysis, and periradicular therapies, and drainage systems
