        About the Department of Nuclear Medicine at University Hospital Essen

        The Department of Nuclear Medicine at the University Hospital Essen offers the full range of radioisotope diagnostics and treatment. Of particular interest is the detection and treatment of thyroid diseases, endocrine tumors. The department also specializes in radioiodine therapy for the treatment of thyroid diseases, radionuclide therapy for bone metastases, MIBG therapy for the treatment of neuroblastomas, malignant pheochromocytes and many other therapies. In addition, the department operates its own Radiopharmaceutical Section, which produces radiopharmaceuticals for two positron emission tomography (PET) scanners. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Ken Herrmann.

        The diagnostic and therapeutic service range of the department includes:

        • Diagnostic examinations
          • Thyroid gland diagnostics
            • Ultrasound examinations of the thyroid gland (high resolution)
            • Thyroid scintigraphy
            • Fine needle aspiration biopsy
            • Laboratory tests
          • PET and PET-CT cancer diagnostics
          • Kidney scintigraphy
          • Lung scintigraphy
          • Heart diagnostics
            • Myocardial scintigraphy
            • Heart scintigraphy
            • 18F-FDG-PET  
          • Skeletal scintigraphy
          • Gastrointestinal diagnostics
            • Salivary gland scintigraphy
            • Esophageal scintigraphy
        • Treatment methods
          • Radioiodine therapy for the treatment of thyroid hyperfunction, diffuse goiter, thyroid malignant tumors
          • DOTATOC therapy for the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors
          • Lu-177 PSMA therapy for the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer
          • MIBG therapy for the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors, for example, malignant pheochromocytoma and neuroblastoma, neuroendocrine tumors of the digestive tract and other rare tumors, such as medullary thyroid carcinoma
          • Selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) with 90Y microspheres for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma, liver metastases in breast cancer, neuroendocrine tumors and colorectal cancer
          • Intracavitary therapy with citrate colloid (90Y) in recurrent malignant ascites
          • Zevalin therapy (90Y), for example, for the treatment of CD20 positive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
          • Radionuclide pain therapy in bone metastases
        • Other diagnostic and therapeutic options
