Department of Diagnostics
Specialized in: diagnostics About the Department of Diagnostics at ATOS Clinic Heidelberg
The Department of Diagnostics at the ATOS Clinic Heidelberg offers a wide range of diagnostic examinations in a comfortable environment at the highest level of modern medicine. The department is fitted out with advanced equipment that allows doctors to detect various diseases in their early stages and provide timely and effective treatment. The medical facility offers comprehensive Check-up programs, namely a basic Check-up program and an extended Check-up program. If necessary, each of them can be adapted to a specific clinical case and individual wishes. The health of patients is in the safe hands of a highly qualified team of doctors that consists of cardiologists, angiologists, phlebologists, diabetologists, neurologists, and other experts. All necessary specialists are involved in the diagnostic process. They jointly study the patient's clinical case and provide treatment recommendations if necessary. Prevention, early detection, and treatment of atherosclerosis are of particular interest to the department's medical team because the formation of atherosclerotic plaques on the walls of the coronary arteries poses serious health risks. The department is headed by PD Dr. med. Markus Heckmann.
The first stage of the examination is a personal consultation, during which the doctor asks about the patient's complaints and studies his or her medical history. Based on the data obtained, the specialist determines the necessary set of diagnostic tests. The department offers basic Check-up programs and extended Check-up programs for the examination of the whole body.
The basic Check-up program includes a physical examination, a complete blood count, blood pressure measurement, ultrasound scans of the abdominal organs, blood vessels of the neck, and veins and arteries of the lower extremities, thyroid ultrasound, echocardiography, electrocardiography, stress ECG, and pulmonary function testing. Typically, the basic Check-up program is completed within two hours. After studying the results, the doctor may prescribe additional diagnostic procedures.
The extended Check-up program is performed on an outpatient basis for 2-3 days. It includes all basic laboratory tests, specific tests for allergic and rheumatic diseases, skin tests, orthopedic examinations, imaging tests (CT and MRI scans), Holter ECG monitoring, 24-hour blood pressure monitoring, early diagnosis of Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease, endoscopic examinations of the stomach, intestines, and rectum, visual acuity assessment, hearing tests, gynecological examinations, and urological examinations. The department's physicians also offer additional services such as physical ability assessments, nutritional counseling, and individual coaching.
All diagnostic tests are done with the use of state-of-the-art equipment in accordance with international medical standards. Highly qualified doctors in the department study the patient's tests in detail and explain the plan of further action. Patients can undergo well-developed Check-up programs that allow them to comprehensively assess their current health condition and identify health risks, including the risks of developing life-threatening pathologies such as heart attack, stroke, or cancer.
The department offers the following diagnostic options:
- Basic Check-up program
- Extended Check-up program
- Additional services: gait analysis, physical ability assessments, special examination to exclude thrombosis and thrombophilia, nutritional counseling, individual coaching, and psychological support
