About the department
The Department of Nuclear Medicine at the University Hospital Freiburg offers the full range of modern diagnostics and therapy in this field. The department specializes in the examination and treatment of patients with benign and malignant thyroid diseases, scintigraphy and functional diagnostics of the skeleton, lungs, brain, heart, kidneys and sentinel lymph nodes. In addition, more than 3,000 PET-CT examinations are performed annually in the department. In this field, the focus is on the diagnostics of cancer and neurological diseases. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. Dr. med. Philipp Tobias Meyer.
The following advanced medical equipment contributes to the accurate diagnostics and successful treatment: SPECT and SPECT-CT systems, two PET-CT scanners (including fully digital PET-CT scanner with CT detectors, for example, a big-bore-System for radiotherapy planning). It should be noted that the department is a partner of the Comprehensive Cancer Center Freiburg, therefore it provides high-quality diagnostics and treatment of various cancer diseases.
Special attention should be paid to the research activities of the department, which focuses on the development and clinical trials of innovative methods of molecular diagnostics and therapy, as well as a hybrid imaging (PET-CT and SPECT-CT). In this case, key attention is paid to oncological and neurological diseases. For these purposes, the department also has a Section for Preclinical Examinations (including PET and CT in animals).
The main clinical focuses of the department include:
- Positron emission tomography for the diagnostics and treatment of cancers
- Modern combined PET-CT diagnostic method
- Diagnostics with the help of gamma camera (SPECT and SPECT-CT)
- Nuclear medicine methods for early diagnostics and treatment of the heart diseases
- Scintigraphy of the skeleton, lungs, brain, heart, kidneys and sentinel lymph nodes
- Radioiodine therapy for the treatment of benign and malignant thyroid diseases
- Radioligand therapy (for example, Lu-177-PSMA therapy in prostate cancer)
- Selective internal radiation therapy for liver tumors
- Other diseases and treatment methods

About hospital
The University Hospital Freiburg is famous for its rich history and is one of the oldest and most prestigious medical facilities in Germany (one of the three best medical institutions in the country). The hospital was based on the Faculty of Medicine of the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg, which celebrated its 550th anniversary in 2007. It should be noted that the hospital is proud of its world-renowned specialists, many of whom during their work here have become Nobel laureates.
The medical facility represents all fields of modern medicine. It consists of 42 departments, 11 institutes and 10 interdisciplinary centers. The highly qualified doctors of the hospital deal with the treatment and rehabilitation of patients with both common and rare diseases. All departments and institutes of the hospital take an active part in fundamental researches of international scale, due to which patients have access to the very latest achievements of medicine, advanced diagnostic methods, state-of-the-art medical equipment and proven effective methods of therapy.
The hospital has a variety of medical achievements, for example, the world's first TIPS procedure, the first implantation of the Jarvik-2000 artificial heart in Europe, the first robotic-assisted surgery on the brain, and the first combined cardiopulmonary transplantation in the land of Baden-Württemberg. In 2004, the University Hospital Freiburg became the first German hospital, which performed kidney transplantation in the incompatibility of blood groups. At the moment, the hospital belongs to medical centers with the greatest experience in performing such an operation.
An interdisciplinary approach to treatment, highly qualified staff, as well as individual patient care and a pleasant environment are key to the hospital’s success.
