        About the Department Adult and Pediatric Diagnostic, Interventional Radiology, Neuroradiology at HELIOS Clinic Krefeld

        The Department Adult and Pediatric Diagnostic, Interventional Radiology, Neuroradiology at the HELIOS Clinic Krefeld offers the full range of services in the areas of its specialization. The department has state-of-the-art equipment, thanks to which doctors successfully carry out imaging diagnostics allowing them to determine the diagnosis as accurately as possible and develop the most effective treatment regimen. The department performs X-ray studies, ultrasound scanning, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), angiography, mammography and a combined method of computed tomography with positron emission tomography (PET-CT). Cardiac CT and MRI are also carried out in cooperation with the Department of Cardiology. The department is one of the few medical facilities of this kind in Germany specializing in the imaging diagnostics in children. The range of the department's services is complemented by minimally invasive image-guided therapeutic procedures. In the field of interventional radiology, the focus is on the treatment of pain syndromes, vascular diseases, benign and malignant tumors, as well as metastases. The department's radiologists strictly adhere to the radiation protection standards, so all diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are absolutely safe for patients.The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Marcus Katoh.

        The advanced diagnostic equipment and high professionalism of doctors allow them to make high-quality diagnostics, detecting the slightest deviations in the work of organs before the onset of clinical symptoms. Ultrasound, CT, MRI, angiography, as well as myelography of the brain and spinal cord are of particular interest to the specialists. In addition, the department focuses on the diagnostics of cancers of various localization and cardiac imaging diagnostics. The specialists of the medical facility use in their work a modern picture archiving and communication system, thanks to which the results of imaging tests are available to doctors in all departments of the clinic.

        The diagnostic imaging tests in children are carried out by specially trained doctors with the use of medical equipment adapted to the characteristics of a growing child's body. Pediatricians, pediatric surgeons, orthopedists, neurosurgeons and other specialists are often involved in the diagnostic process. For maximum comfort of young patients, doctors allow the parents to stay with their children during the diagnostic examinations and support them throughout the entire process. The diagnostic procedures in the field of pediatric radiology include ultrasound, radiography, fluoroscopy, CT and MRI. The negative impact of X-rays on the child's body during the diagnostics in the department is completely excluded.

        However, the department's work is not limited to diagnostics. It also successfully performs image-guided interventional therapeutic procedures. In many cases, such treatment can effectively eliminate the pathology and save the patient from the need for a full-fledged surgical intervention, which is often associated with risks and long postoperative recovery. The department's interventional radiologists specialize in the treatment of chronic pain, benign neoplasms, stenoses and vascular occlusions caused by atherosclerosis, aneurysms, malignant tumors and their metastases. In addition, the patients can undergo highly competent interventional treatment of diseases of the brain and spinal cord – thrombectomy in the case of stroke, therapeutic procedures for the treatment of cerebral aneurysms, carotid artery stenting, correction of arteriovenous malformations (angiomas).
