        About the Department of Adult and Pediatric Diagnostic, Interventional Radiology, Neuroradiology at University Hospital Halle (Saale)

        The Department of Adult and Pediatric Diagnostic, Interventional Radiology, Neuroradiology at the University Hospital Halle (Saale) offers the full range of modern radiological diagnostics and minimally invasive treatment both on an inpatient and outpatient basis. It has advanced equipment for conducting radiological studies in adults and children, as well as minimally invasive procedures under the guidance of imaging systems. There is maintained close cooperation with many departments of the hospital, which provides an interdisciplinary approach to treatment and comprehensive medical care. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. Dr. med. Walter Wohlgemuth.

        One of the priorities of the department’s work is interventional radiology, which makes it possible to carry out various diagnostic and therapeutic manipulations using percutaneous accesses under the guidance of imaging devices. One of the clearest examples of this focus is digital subtraction angiography (CSA), which can image vessels  with the best possible accuracy without overlapping images. Along with the imaging of blood vessels for diagnostic purposes, this method also allows for therapeutic interventions. For example, it can be used to restore (when treating thrombosis and arterial stenosis) or to block (in aneurysms or the risk of bleeding from tumor vessels) blood flow in the vessels. Both types of procedures – diagnostic imaging and interventions–  can be applied to all parts of the body.

        The department also has in its arsenal a digital two-level angiography, which allows to simultaneously perform two series of images using a single injection of a contrast agent, which reduces the radiation load on the patient and shortens the examination time. Also, two-level angiography offers a significantly higher safety with the introduction of a catheter for neuroradiological interventions (for example, removal of blood clots in acute stroke using a stent retriever and microcatheter).

        The service range of the department includes:
