About the Department of Adult and Pediatric Diagnostic, Interventional Radiology at Hospital Oberberg Gummersbach
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Diagnostic, Interventional Radiology at the Hospital Gummersbach Oberberg offers the full range of modern imaging tests, as well as imaging-guided therapeutic procedures. The Chief Physician of the department is Dr. med. Achim Mülle.
The department cooperates closely with other departments and specialized centers of the hospital, providing comprehensive diagnostic procedures, which form the basis for the development of optimal treatment regimens. The department has the state-of-the-art medical and technical base, as well as strictly complies with radiation protection standards.
The department's competent medical team cares not only about the high quality of medical services, but also about the comfort of their patients. In this regard, the department is structurally divided into specialized diagnostic rooms with comfortable waiting areas.
The service range includes all types of modern radiological diagnostics, including spiral computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
