About the department
The Department of Interventional Radiology at the University Hospital Oldenburg offers a full range of modern imaging tests and image-guided therapeutic procedures. The department performs imaging examinations for patients from all departments of the University Hospital Oldenburg: X-ray, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, sonography, mammography, and angiography; diagnostic examinations are performed on an outpatient basis. To ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment, the department has state-of-the-art medical equipment, including a 64-slice spiral CT scanner, two high-performance 1.5 Tesla MRI scanners, advanced equipment for digital subtraction angiography, pulsed fluoroscopy, and many other devices. The department's team of physicians also specializes in image-guided therapeutic interventional procedures – the treatment of vascular stenoses and occlusions, malignant tumors, and chronic back pain. Therapeutic manipulations are often performed on an outpatient basis. The department adheres strictly to radiation safety standards, so patients can expect highly effective and safe treatment. The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Martin Maurer.
One of the most popular interventional procedures in the department is balloon angioplasty (percutaneous transluminal angioplasty), which is indicated for patients with severe symptoms of critical lower limb ischemia or with the formation of trophic ulcers and non-healing wounds. The essence of balloon angioplasty is as follows: a specialist inserts a special catheter with a tiny balloon attached to it through the femoral artery (sometimes through the radial artery) to the site of occlusion or narrowing of the blood vessel under imaging guidance, after which the balloon is inflated, thus normalizing blood flow in the pathological area of the blood vessel. In many cases, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty is performed at the same time as stenting. A stent is implanted to prevent repeated occlusion of the artery. The duration of the therapeutic manipulation is about 2 hours. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia.
The department's doctors also specialize in transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for the treatment of liver tumors. The therapeutic effect is achieved by depriving the tumor of blood supply through embolization, the introduction of microparticles into the lumen of the blood supply vessel. Embolization is performed in combination with the administration of a high dose of chemotherapy drugs through a selective catheter directly into the tumor focus, which makes it possible to significantly shrink the tumor, and, in some cases, destroy it completely. As a rule, the TACE procedure is prescribed for advanced stages of hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma; an important condition for its performance is the absence of metastases outside the liver. Within 24-48 hours after transarterial chemoembolization, a follow-up MRI or CT scan is done to assess the results of the manipulation. In many cases, the procedure is repeated 2-3 times with an interval of four weeks.
The department's therapeutic options are complemented by infiltration therapy for the treatment of chronic back pain. This treatment method is considered when oral medications have failed. Before infiltration therapy is prescribed, computerized tomography and/or magnetic resonance imaging is performed to plan the upcoming treatment. Infiltration therapy involves the targeted injection of a potent painkiller directly into the pathological focus near the nerve root under CT guidance. The procedure is highly effective and can be repeated. It is also painless for the patient and poses virtually no health risks.
The department's clinical focuses include the following:
- Diagnostic services
- X-ray
- Computed tomography
- Magnetic resonance imaging
- Sonography
- Mammography
- Angiography
- Therapeutic services
- Balloon angioplasty
- Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE)
- Infiltration therapy
- Abscess drainage under imaging guidance
- Other medical services
