The Radiology Department in Hamburg offers you the entire spectrum of radiological diagnostics with the exception of mammography. With more than 60,000 examinations and interventions per year, our qualified team ensures precise radiological diagnostics and treatment for outpatients and inpatients. State-of-the-art imaging methods are used such as computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We focus on carrying out minimally invasive examination and treatment methods using CT, with ultrasound and fluoroscopy.
In radiology, state-of-the-art imaging techniques are used to look inside the human body, for example:
We have a RIS/PACS system as an integral part of the hospital information system, with a completely digital workflow from the request for findings to the transmission of a findings document generated via voice recognition. Your images and findings are thus quickly transferred to the wards and outpatient departments of our hospital, eliminating long waiting times for examination results.
One of the main focuses of our radiology department is the implementation of minimally invasive diagnostic and treatment procedures using CT, ultrasound and fluoroscopy. Our experts have different areas of specialisation.

During consultation, your specialist will discuss with you all available treatment options. Together you will determine which treatment is best for you. In many cases, these minimally-invasive procedures can avoid surgery and thus a longer inpatient stay for you. Local anaesthesia is usually enough. In special cases, however, a general anaesthetic can be administered at any time by an anaesthetist from the Department of Anaesthesiology.
