About the department
The Department of Nuclear Medicine at the University Hospital Bonn offers the full range of radioisotope diagnostics and treatment of various diseases. The department began its work in 1951 and today it is one of the leading and most reputable medical facilities of this kind in Germany. The clinical activities mainly focus on the detection and treatment of pathologies of the thyroid gland, heart, lung cancer, breast cancer, prostate gland, liver cancer and metastases, neuroendocrine tumors, malignant melanoma, and brain tumors. The doctors use only reliable, the most effective innovative methods of examination and therapy, which guarantee an optimal result. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Markus Essler.
Since October 2014, the department has introduced and actively uses the very latest newest treatment method for prostate cancer. The Lutetium-177 PSMA therapy represents a unique option for the provision of targeted specialized medical care to patients with prostate cancer who do not have a positive dynamic during hormonal therapy or chemotherapy. Unlike the treatment with Radium-223, the advantage of Lutetium-177 PSMA therapy is its effectiveness in metastases to the lymph nodes or other organs.
The department’s priority is the diagnostics and treatment of thyroid diseases. The diagnostic capabilities include the ultrasound examinations, scintigraphy, puncture biopsy of the thyroid gland, while radiation therapy is the main therapy method in this field. The department’s physicians specialize in the treatment of "hot" thyroid nodules, Graves' disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, De Quervain's thyroiditis, amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis, goiter, thyroid cancer and thyroid dysfunction during pregnancy (in collaboration with the Department of Reproductive Medicine).
The service range of the department includes:
- Diagnostics
- Ultrasound examinations of the thyroid gland
- Thyroid scintigraphy
- Positron emission tomography and PET-CT
- Ga-68-PSMA PET-CT
- Myocardial scintigraphy
- Sentinel lymph node scintigraphy
- Lung scintigraphy
- Kidney scintigraphy
- Skeletal scintigraphy
- Bone mineral density measurement (osteodensitometry)
- Therapy
- Radioactive iodine therapy with I-131 for the treatment of benign thyroid diseases (functional autonomy of the thyroid gland, Graves' disease, goiter)
- Radioactive iodine therapy I-131 for the treatment of thyroid cancer
- Peptide-receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) with 177Lu-DOTATATE for the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors
- Selective internal radiation therapy/transarterial radioembolization with yttrium-90 microspheres
- Lutetium-177 PSMA therapy for the treatment of hormone-resistant metastatic prostate cancer
- Ra-223 therapy in prostate cancer with bone metastases
- Radiosynovectomy
- Radioimmunotherapy using 90Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan (Zevalin)
- Radionuclide MIBG therapy with I-131
- Yttrium-90 radioembolization (Y-90)
- Other diagnostic and therapeutic services

About hospital
According to the authoritative Focus magazine, the University Hospital Bonn ranks among the top ten medical facilities in Germany!
The hospital was opened on January 1, 2001, although in fact it inherits the medical facility, which operated at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Bonn. The hospital in Germany combines all the highest standards of modern university medicine of the international level. A highly competent team of experienced physicians, which consists of more than 8,000 employees from various fields, takes care of the patients’ health.
The hospital has 32 specialized departments and 23 institutes, which implement the highest standards of treatment in Germany. On their basis, in addition to the successful clinical activities, the productive research and training of young specialists are carried out. Also, the hospital has 10 intensive care units and more than 30 cutting-edge operating rooms. They are equipped with the advanced surgical, navigation and monitoring systems, which provide sparing and the most effective surgical treatment. The total number of places for hospitalization is 1,250 beds.
The hospital presents all fields of medicine, while many of them are awarded by prestigious German and international certificates. For example, in 2007, the Comprehensive Cancer Center of the hospital became one of the four winners at the nationwide competition among Cancer Centers of Excellence. The research focuses primarily on the clinical genetics and genetic epidemiology, neurology, immunology and infectiology, hepatology and gastroenterology, and diseases of the cardiovascular system. The research findings contribute to the development of new therapeutic methods and overall improvement of treatment in Germany.
The main value for all employees of the hospital in Germany is human health, his individual needs and wishes, therefore, despite the high-tech infrastructure, the focus remains on the human attitude and respect for each patient.
