Radiological oncology - Modern imaging for tumour diagnostics.

Oncologic imaging is a core component of our radiological expertise and focuses on the detection, staging, and follow-up of cancer. Our goal is the earliest possible and most accurate identification of tumors, as well as reliable assessment of disease progression to support optimal treatment planning.

At all our locations, we offer state-of-the-art imaging modalities including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and digital X-ray. These technologies enable high-resolution visualization of tumors and metastases throughout the body.

Early Detection and Accurate Diagnosis

Early detection plays a critical role in the prognosis of cancer.

Our services include:

  • Evaluation of suspicious findings and tumor-related symptoms
  • Diagnosis of primary tumors across various organ systems
  • Detection and characterization of metastases
  • Differentiation between benign and malignant lesions

Using advanced cross-sectional imaging, even small lesions can be detected and accurately characterized.

Staging and Follow-up Imaging

A key aspect of oncologic imaging is accurate staging and longitudinal assessment of disease.

We support referring physicians with:

  • Initial staging at the time of diagnosis
  • Follow-up imaging during systemic or local therapy
  • Assessment of treatment response and disease progression
  • Post-treatment surveillance

Standardized imaging protocols ensure consistency and comparability across serial examinations.

Interdisciplinary Collaboration

Cancer imaging is performed in close collaboration with oncologists, surgeons, and radiation therapists.

Our radiological reports provide not only precise imaging findings but also clinically relevant interpretation to guide treatment decisions.

Advanced Technology for Diagnostic Excellence

Our technical infrastructure supports comprehensive oncologic imaging:

  • High-resolution MRI for soft tissue and organ evaluation
  • CT for fast and accurate whole-body imaging
  • Dedicated protocols tailored to specific tumor entities

Our team is characterized by a high level of expertise in oncological imaging. Our specialists Prof. Dr. Brechtel, Prof. Dr. Fenchel, Dr. Kämpf, Prof. Ketelsen and Dr. Trübenbach have gained extensive clinical experience in renowned university hospitals and have worked in an interdisciplinary setting for many years in supraregional tumor centers in order to be able to offer the best possible diagnostics for a wide range of tumor diseases and therapies.

We collaborate with colleagues from a wide range of disciplines at our inpatient locations in numerous tumor centers.
