About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Diagnostic, Interventional Radiology, Neuroradiology at the University Hospital Muenster is one of the best institutions of its kind in Germany and offers patients the full range of radiological studies and imaging-guided minimally invasive therapy. The department’s scope of tasks also includes imaging diagnostics in children of all age groups, detection and invasive treatment of cerebral vascular pathology (neuroradiology). Patient care is provided both on an inpatient and outpatient basis. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Walter Heindel.
In addition to the conventional diagnostic methods, namely CT and PET-CT, as well as MRI and PET-MRI, the department specializes in radiological senology (diagnostics of the female and male mammary glands). Depending on the examination purpose, digital mammography, digital tomosynthesis, high-frequency ultrasound with various methods of biopsy sampling can be used. Radiological senology is the central component of the certified Breast Center and one of the 15 centers in Germany participating in the project of German consortium for the examination of family oncological diseases of the breast and ovaries.
The department is also fitted out with the equipment for diagnostic angiography and minimally invasive interventions. It performs about 1,500 imaging-guided examinations and therapeutic procedures. The possibilities of CT, MRI, and catheter angiography are available for the diagnostics of thrombosis. These methods are used in the case of both arterial and venous lesions. The choice of a method depends on the examination purpose. If CT or MRI scans are used for the examination of arteries and veins, then catheter angiography serves to diagnose and treat vascular diseases.
The service range of the department includes:
Diagnostic radiology
- Computed tomography (CT) and positron emission computed tomography (PET-CT)
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission magnetic resonance imaging (PET-MRI)
- Radiological senology
