        About the Department of Nuclear Medicine at University Hospital Marburg UKGM

        The Department of Nuclear Medicine at the University Hospital UKGM offers all the options of radioisotope diagnostics and treatment. Nuclear medicine methods allow for imaging not only the organs and anatomical structures of the body, but also the metabolic processes that occur in them. The department specializes in the diagnostics and treatment of cancer, cardiological pathologies, neurological and psychiatric disorders. The department’s doctors annually conduct about 10,000 in vivo studies and about 500 therapeutic procedures with radionuclides. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Markus Luster.

        The diagnostic and therapeutic service range of the department includes:

        • Diagnostic options
          • Thyroid examinations
            • Ultrasound
            • Scintigraphy with technetium-99m and radioactive iodine isotopes 
          • Parathyroid examinations
            • Ultrasound

            • Diagnostics of tumors of the adrenal medulla (neuroblastoma) in children
          • Lung examinations
          • Skeleton bone examinations to detect metastases and inflammatory processes in bones and joints
          • Kidney examinations

          • Palliative care for patients with pain caused by metastatic tumors
        • Other medical services

        Curriculum vitae

        After qualifying from the Medical School (1985-1992) at the University of Essen, Dr. Markus Luster undertook training in Pediatric Hematology/Oncology at the University of Madison, Wisconsin, USA. From there, Prof. Markus Luster went on to take a 6-year fellowship in the Department of Nuclear Medicine at the University Hospital Wuerzburg, where, in November 2000, he became a Consultant. In 2008, Dr. Markus Luster moved to the University of Ulm to become Professor of Nuclear Medicine and in June 2013 became Full Professor and Chairman of the Department of Nuclear Medicine at the University of Marburg.

        Dr. Markus Luster has been involved in multiple clinical trials in endocrinology and paediatric oncology, including several multicentric, international trials in differentiated thyroid carcinoma.

        In addition, he is a Member of numerous medical societies, including the German Society of Nuclear Medicine, the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Endocrine Tumor Study Group, and the European Association of Nuclear Medicine. From 2008 to 2012, he was Chairman of the Therapy Committee for the European Association of Nuclear Medicine and a Member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the National Patient Support Group for Thyroid Cancer. Since October 2014, he is chairing the newly founded Thyroid Committee of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM).
