Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, Neuroradiology, Nuclear Medicine
Specialized in: diagnostic and interventional radiology, neuroradiology, nuclear medicine About the Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, Neuroradiology, Nuclear Medicine at Hirslanden Clinic St. Anna Lucerne
The Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, Neuroradiology, Nuclear Medicine at the Hirslanden Clinic St. Anna Lucerne offers the full range of imaging diagnostic tests and imaging-guided therapeutic procedures, including the diagnostics and treatment with radioactive substances. The department’s team of neuroradiologists specializes in the detection and interventional treatment of diseases of the brain and spinal cord, their meninges and adjacent anatomical structures. The department is headed by PD Dr. med. Sebastian Kos.
The department has all the necessary resources for providing first-class medical services, namely high-tech equipment, competent doctors, as well as the possibility of close interdisciplinary cooperation with doctors from the related medical fields. The clinical practice strictly observes radiation protection standards, so patients can be confident in the safety of all procedures.
The diagnostic and therapeutic options of the department include:
- Diagnostic radiology
- Imaging tests of the abdominal organs (liver, gallbladder and bile ducts, pancreas, small and large intestine)
