About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Interventional Radiology at the University Hospital of Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich provides the full range of medical services in the area of its specialization. The department offers modern diagnostic rooms with advanced equipment for imaging examinations for patients with suspected cancer, diseases of the cardiovascular system, thorax, abdominal organs, musculoskeletal system, and breast diseases. The department's diagnostic systems are adapted for examining children of different age groups. The medical facility also offers many therapeutic services, the most popular of which include MRI-guided treatment of uterine fibroids with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and uterine artery embolization, prostate adenoma treatment with prostate artery embolization, tumor treatment with brachytherapy, percutaneous radiofrequency ablation, percutaneous microwave ablation, and transarterial chemoembolization. The doctors working at the medical facility also have rich experience in the interventional treatment of vascular pathologies and arteriovenous malformations. The department has an excellent reputation and regularly diagnoses and treats patients not only from Germany but also from other countries in the world. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Jens Ricke.
The department's team of doctors often treats patients with uterine fibroids, the most common benign neoplasm in women of childbearing age. Uterine fibroids rarely cause any symptoms, so they are often detected incidentally during a gynecological examination. Uterine fibroids cause infertility, miscarriage, and other pathological conditions. The department's doctors have two effective and sparing therapeutic procedures for uterine fibroid treatment: uterine artery embolization and MRI-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy. In the first case, the therapeutic effect is achieved by introducing emboli into the blood vessels supplying the myoma, due to which the size of the uterine fibroid gradually decreases. As of today, MRI-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy is the most modern treatment for uterine fibroids. The procedure does not require any tissue incisions and is usually performed on an outpatient basis. During the manipulation, the patient is located on the couch of the MRI scanner, which creates 3D images of uterine fibroids using magnetic fields. These images are used as the basis for targeting the neoplasm with HIFU ultrasonic waves, which locally heat the tissues up to 60-80°C. Myoma cells are destroyed under the influence of high temperatures, after which they are excreted naturally. A woman can return to her normal life within 1-2 days after the manipulation.
A fairly common pathology is benign prostatic hyperplasia. The department's doctors successfully carry out prostatic artery embolization to treat the condition. The therapeutic manipulation is performed using a narrow catheter, which is delivered to the blood vessels supplying the prostate gland through the inguinal artery under local anesthesia and imaging guidance. Embolizing material is administered into the blood vessels with a catheter, which contributes to the cessation of blood flow and, consequently, a decrease in the size of the prostate gland.
The department's specialists offer many effective interventional treatment methods for malignant diseases, including brachytherapy, selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT), percutaneous radiofrequency ablation, percutaneous microwave ablation, and transarterial chemoembolization. Brachytherapy is performed under CT or MRI guidance. The department performs exactly that therapeutic manipulation, which was developed in 2004 by radiologists and radiation therapists from the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and the Charite University Hospital Berlin. The department's specialists most often perform brachytherapy in patients with primary or secondary liver and lung malignancies. The essence of brachytherapy is to place a radiation source directly into a malignant neoplasm so that doctors can direct the highest possible dose of radiation into it without damaging healthy adjacent tissues. Brachytherapy under CT or MRI guidance contributes to the highest accuracy of treatment.
The department's therapeutic offer is complemented by image-guided interventional treatment of vascular pathologies. The doctors working at the medical facility regularly perform interventional procedures under CT and MRI guidance to eliminate stenosis and obstruction of the blood vessels in the pelvis and lower limbs due to occlusive peripheral artery disease, treat renal artery stenosis due to arterial hypertension and kidney failure, treat abdominal and thoracic aortic aneurysms, repair arteriovenous and venous malformations, including in children.

- Diagnostic examinations in adults and children

- Classic X-ray scans
- Fluoroscopy
- Computed tomography (CT)
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

- Treatment of malignant tumors
- Brachytherapy (most commonly used to treat liver and lung tumors)
- Selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) for liver and lung tumors
