Nuclear Medicine

An ultramodern SPECT-CT double-headed camera is being utilized by the nuclear medical diagnostic section.  Through the implementation of the nuclear slice process SPECT, organ functions, cell metabolism and other functional parameters in the human body can be visualized.

Via the innovative technological combination of the SPECT camera with the CT, the changes in the examination process can be exactly assigned anatomically.  In addition to the diagnosis and therapy of thyroid aliments, nuclear medicine plays an important role in the identification, detection, and treatment of cancer, heart disease, the examination of the brain and the central nervous system, rheumatism and skeletal disorders and many other indicators.

The service spectrum of nuclear medicine covers the following:

• Thyroid ambulant care with hormonal status, scintigraphy, sonography, ultrasound targeted fine-needled tapping of the thyroid gland and/or parathyroid gland.
• Brain scintigraphy
• Lymph node scintigraphy (sentinel diagnostics)
• Kidney scintigraphy
• Heart scintigraphy
• Skeletal scintigraphy
• Inflammation scintigraphy
• Lung scintigraphy
• Radiosynoviorthesis: Nuclear medical joint therapy for the treatment of painfully inflamed joints caused by rheumatism or arthritis.
