Department of Adult and Pediatric Diagnostic, Interventional Radiology
Specialized in: adult and pediatric diagnostic, interventional radiology About the Department of Adult and Pediatric Diagnostic, Interventional Radiology at University Hospital Frankfurt am Main
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Diagnostic, Interventional Radiology at the University Hospital Frankfurt am Main provides the full range of services in these fields and specializes in conducting radiologic examinations, high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy, vascular, oncological, orthopedic and urologic interventions. The department includes specialized Sections for Gynecologic, Pediatric and Orthopedic Radiology. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Thomas Vogl.
In the field of diagnostics, the department offers the whole spectrum of modern diagnostic radiology, including CT and MRI diagnostics, X-ray diagnostics and ultrasound. To provide the fastest and most accurate diagnostics, the department has in its arsenal the very latest medical developments, for example, (128-slice) SOMATOM Definition AS scanner, SOMATOM Force Dual Source scanner, Siemens Somatom Definition AS Sliding mobile tomograph. These tomographs allow obtaining images of the highest quality with minimal radiation exposure to the patient.
In the field of interventional radiology, the department specializes in vascular, oncological, orthopedic interventions, as well as in prostate biopsy with an accuracy the nearest millimeter.
The department offers the full range of cancer interventions:
| Laser-induced thermotherapy (LITT), which is a special minimally invasive thermotherapy for liver and lung tumors |
| Uterine fibroid embolization, which is a minimally invasive therapy for uterine myoma |
| Radiofrequency tumor ablation, which is a minimally invasive high-frequency thermoablation for liver and lung tumors |
| Selective internal radiation therapy with the use of SIR spheres, which is a minimally invasive radio-oncological treatment of liver tumors |
| Transpulmonary chemoembolization (TPCE), which is a minimally invasive and selective chemotherapy for lung tumors |
| Transarterial chemoperfusion (TACP), which is a minimally invasive percutaneous chemoperfusion for liver tumors |
| Prostate embolization in benign prostatic hyperplasia, which is a special minimally invasive therapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia |
| Other interventions |
In addition, the department offers a wide range of minimally invasive vascular interventions. For example, excimer laser (ELA) angioplasty is successfully used in the treatment of peripheral arterial occlusive disease. It shows high rates of treatment effectiveness.
Also, the department offers special orthopedic interventions to treat herniated discs, osteoporosis and bone tumors. It uses a new minimally invasive method of treating herniated discs – ozone therapy. Its advantages include improving blood circulation and reducing inflammation, improving microcirculation and oxygen supply, etc. Another effective method is vertebroplasty/osteoplasty, which is used to reduce pain and stabilize the fractured vertebrae.
Another focus of the department is high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy. The department has one of the very first HIFU devices in Germany, which allows not only for tumor treatment, but also for its imaging. Focused ultrasound can be successfully used in the treatment of various benign and malignant tumors.
Indications for high intensity-focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy:
| Pancreatic tumors |
| Liver tumors |
| Kidney tumors |
| Breast fibroadenomas |
| Bone tumors |
| Uterine fibroids |
| Adenomyosis |
| Breast cancer |
The main diagnostic and therapeutic focuses of the department are:
| High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy |
|
| Diagnostic radiology |
|
| Pediatric radiology (conventional X-ray studies, ultrasound, MRI) | |
| Interventional radiology |
|
| Cancer treatment | |
| Interdisciplinary Center for Liver Diseases | |
| Other diagnostic and therapeutic options |
