Department of Adult and Pediatric Radiology, Nuclear Medicine
Specialized in: adult and pediatric radiology, nuclear medicine About the Department of Adult and Pediatric Radiology, Nuclear Medicine at German Heart Center Munich
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Radiology, Nuclear Medicine at the German Heart Center Munich offers the full range of highly specialized tests of the cardiovascular system using radioisotopes and ionizing radiation. The department began its work on July 1, 1973, and therefore it is proud of its rich experience and outstanding performance results. The medical facility was one of the first to start using digital subtraction angiography (back in the 1980s). A distinctive feature of the department is its high level of qualification in the field of radioisotope diagnostics for congenital heart defects in children. The department's specialists have advanced equipment for examining the cardiovascular system in adults and children, as well as for carrying out all the necessary diagnostic procedures before, during, and after surgical treatment. Most of the examinations are conducted on an outpatient basis. Advanced diagnostic equipment guarantees patients a minimum dose of radiation during the examination that will not have a negative impact on their health. The Head Physician of the department is Dr. med. Stefan Martinoff.
The department's specialists cooperate closely with the doctors of all departments at the German Heart Center Munich. The department has a modern picture archiving and communication system, which provides all doctors with quick access to the diagnostic data of each patient. Digital data can also be securely transferred to the University Hospital Rechts der Isar Munich. Patients are thus guaranteed optimal medical care.
In May 2002, the department received one of the world's first 16-slice touch-screen CT scanners, allowing for the most accurate heart examinations in adults. On October 1, 2004, the first multi-slice CT system in Europe was introduced here, and in October 2006, the first dual-source CT scanner specially designed for heart examinations was introduced. On average, more than 5,000 heart CT scans are performed in the department annually. It should be noted that state-of-the-art equipment ensures the minimum radiation dose and, at the same time, the maximum efficiency and accuracy of diagnostic data.
The department's doctors often perform X-ray scans and magnetic resonance imaging. More than 18,000 X-ray scans and about 2,000 MRI scans are performed in the medical facility every year. Magnetic resonance imaging is highly informative. At the same time, the examination is very safe, since it is based on the use of magnetic fields and not X-rays. The department uses state-of-the-art MRI devices, such as the 1.5 Tesla Magnetom Avanto by Siemens and the 3 Tesla Ingenia by Siemens. The special value of the MRI lies in the fact that it allows doctors to assess not only the anatomical structures but also the functioning of the heart. In some cases, the department's doctors perform contrast-enhanced MRI scans.
As for diagnostic methods in the field of nuclear medicine, scintigraphy and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) are available in the department. Myocardial scintigraphy can be performed both at rest and during stress, which allows the doctors to assess the blood flow in the heart muscle using cross-sectional imaging.
The department's range of medical services includes the following:
- Imaging tests using ionizing radiation and magnetic fields
- Heart CT scans
- Heart MRI scans, including with a pharmacological stress
- Digital subtraction angiography
- X-ray scans
- Imaging tests using radioisotopes
- Myocardial scintigraphy (at rest and during stress)
- Lung scintigraphy
- Skeletal scintigraphy
- Kidney and thyroid scintigraphy
- Myocardial single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)
- Other diagnostic options
