About the department

The Department of Radiology and Neuroradiology at the Academic Teaching Hospital Asklepios Barmbek offers the full range of diagnostic and therapeutic services in the relevant areas. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Roland Brüning.

The department is equipped with the Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), which allows to get expert opinion from other specialists of the departments of the Asklepios hospital network. The department has advanced equipment for classical X-ray examinations, as well as state-of-the-art devices, such as multi-layer computer tomographs, high-performance MRI (1.5 and 3 Tesla), diagnostic systems for mammography and angiography.

Here are provided various diagnostic services that help to determine a particular disease, a pathological change in the body as accurately as possible. The main ones are MRI, CT, X-ray, mammography (breast examination) and angiography (vascular examination).

Neuroradiology, which deals with the diagnostics and treatment of diseases of the central nervous system, namely diseases of the brain and spinal cord, is among the most important focuses of the department.

Stenting
Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA)
Lysis therapy
Mechanical recanalization
Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE)
