About the Department of Pediatric Radiology at St. Elisabethen Hospital Lörrach

The Department of Pediatric Radiology at the St. Elisabethen Hospital Lörrach offers the full range of services in this medical field. The department specializes in the diagnostics and treatment of children of all ages – from the first days after birth to adolescence. Since children are more sensitive to X-rays than adults, the specialists select the best diagnostic and treatment methods that do not pose risks to the health of the child and at the same time are highly effective. The department's diagnostic rooms have modern equipment adapted to the needs of a growing child's body. The department's medical team cooperates closely with specialists in all areas of pediatrics, providing high-precision and safe imaging diagnostics for children. In addition, the department has a pleasant and friendly atmosphere in which children feel as comfortable as possible. The department is headed by Dr. med. Dan Wagner.

When diagnosing and treating children, an individual approach and high professionalism are required. When prescribing a particular diagnostic examination or type of therapy, the doctor must take into account the height, weight of the child and his general health condition.

Ultrasound scanning is the safest diagnostic method for young patients. Children perfectly tolerate such diagnostic procedures, they can be repeated many times without harm to health. X-ray examinations such as conventional radiography, fluoroscopy and computed tomography use special methods and devices to reduce the radiation dose.

Active cooperation with other departments of the hospital and partners from other medical facilities contributes to the achievement of successful results of diagnostics and treatment.

The department's team takes care of the comfort of children and their parents, and also makes every effort to provide patients with medical services that meet the highest requirements of modern European medicine. Doctors and nursing staff are always open to dialogue with the child and his parents, ready to help and provide support.

The department's range of medical services includes:

• Ultrasound scanning
