About the department
The Department of Interventional Radiology and Neuroradiology at the University Hospital Halle (Saale) offers a full range of advanced imaging diagnostics and minimally invasive treatments on both an inpatient and outpatient basis. The department has state-of-the-art medical equipment for imaging tests such as X-ray, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, digital subtraction angiography, and mammography. The medical facility also performs many highly effective interventional therapeutic procedures under image guidance, which in many cases allow patients to avoid traumatic open surgery. For example, the department successfully performs local fibrinolysis, thrombectomy, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, hemostasis, transarterial chemoembolization, uterine artery embolization, and other procedures. The department's neuroradiologists specialize in brain and spinal cord imaging and the treatment of central nervous system disorders. Interventional neuroradiology focuses on the treatment of carotid artery stenosis, brain aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, dural fistulas, subdural hematomas, brain tumors, skull base and spinal tumors, and chronic back pain. The department's medical team has extensive clinical experience in their areas of expertise. The specialists are guided by the recommendations of the German Society for Interventional Radiology and Minimally Invasive Therapy (DeGIR) and the German Society for Neuroradiology (DGNR), which helps to achieve the best results. The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. Dr. med. Walter Wohlgemuth.
The department's team of interventional radiologists specializes in performing the full range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures available in this field. One of the most popular interventional therapeutic procedures is percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA), which is indicated for patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease and mesenteric and renal artery stenosis. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty is performed under local anesthesia. At the first stage of the procedure, a radiopaque substance is administered intravenously and angiography is performed. At the second stage, a flexible catheter with a balloon attached to it is inserted through the femoral artery, advanced to the site of narrowing or occlusion of the blood vessel, and inflated to restore normal blood flow through the affected blood vessel. If clinically indicated, the PTA procedure may be supplemented with stenting. After dilation of the lumen of the blood vessel, a stent is placed in the stenosis site to prevent further narrowing of the artery.
The department's doctors also regularly admit patients with oncological diseases. The most common interventional treatments are for bleeding during tumor disintegration (hemostasis) and transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). The TACE procedure is performed for hepatocellular carcinoma, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, and liver metastases. The essence of TACE treatment is the introduction of embolization particles with chemotherapy drugs into the artery supplying the tumor. The therapeutic effect is achieved by depriving the tumor of blood supply and the effect of the chemotherapy drug, resulting in the death of cancer cells (necrosis). It should be noted that the chemotherapy drug acts locally on the tumor without harming adjacent healthy tissues because it is delivered directly to the pathological focus without entering the systemic bloodstream. This fact is important because liver cancer is practically insensitive to systemic chemotherapy, and when cytostatics are administered into the hepatic artery, their effectiveness increases significantly.
An integral part of the clinical practice of the department's specialists is imaging diagnostics and interventional treatment of diseases of the central nervous system, the brain and spinal cord. During examinations, doctors perform magnetic resonance imaging on powerful MAGNETOM Sola and MAGNETOM Skyra devices, computed tomography on SOMATOM X cite and SOMATOM Force devices, and digital subtraction angiography on the latest ARTIS icono device. The department's team of neuroradiologists also performs many image-guided endovascular therapeutic procedures to treat carotid artery stenosis, brain aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, dural fistulas, subdural hematomas, brain skull base, and spinal tumors, and chronic back pain. The department's neuroradiologists work closely with neurologists and neurosurgeons, so that in complex clinical cases, the decision to perform one type of treatment or another is made jointly by the specialists.
The range of medical services provided by the department includes the following:
- Interventional radiology
- Recanalization procedures
- Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with and without subsequent stenting

The history of the hospital goes back more than 300 years, and during this time it has managed to gain an excellent reputation not only in Germany, but also throughout the world. The hospital positions itself as a specialized healthcare facility for the treatment of severe and rare diseases and injuries. The hospital provides medical care to patients of all ages in compliance with the latest scientific achievements. The hospital is distinguished by successful research activities, especially in the field of cardiovascular diseases and oncopathologies – the specialists in these areas have made significant contributions to the development of the very latest diagnostic methods and therapeutic approaches.
The University Hospital Halle (Saale) has 30 specialized departments representing almost all areas of modern medicine, as well as 17 narrowly focused institutes. About 35,000 patients receive qualified medical care of European standards in the hospital every year, and more than 212,000 patients are served on an outpatient basis. This number of patients is evidence of the high efficiency of medical services and the excellent image of the hospital in the international medical arena; patients from all over the world regularly seek medical attention here.
Some of the hospital's structural units deserve special attention. For example, the Central Emergency Department (the largest in Saxony-Anhalt), modern dental clinics, the Perinatal Center, and the Transplant Center, which has a history of more than 40 years. The Transplant Center performs more than 40 kidney transplants annually, most of them from living donors.
Thanks to the use of the latest medical technologies and the availability of state-of-the-art equipment, many previously high-risk surgeries and procedures can now be performed in the hospital using sparing techniques.
