A reliable
diagnosis requires not only excellent specialist knowledge and a great deal of
experience but also the latest technical equipment.
In addition
to our own digital x-ray system and a sonographic scanner, we also operate an
MRT and a CT scanner in co-operation with Dr Lars Emde, a radiologist whose
offices are located on the same floor.
Please see
below for details of our technical equipment.
Digital X-ray system
Our digital X-ray system is a state-of-the-art unit from Siemens. It offers the following advantages:
a lower level of radiation
more exact x-ray imaging
archiving on CD
lower consumption of materials
environmentally friendly
the possibility to send x-ray images online to other specialists (telemedicine)
Magnetic Resonance Tomography (MRT) Scanner
Our MRT scanner is a state-of-the-art 1.5 Tesla device from Siemens operated in conjunction with diagnostic radiologist Dr. Lars Emde.
It provides radiation-free optimized images, e.g. of:
Joints (especially ligament structures, meniscus and cartilage)
Musculature and tendons
Spinal column and disks
Computer Tomography (CT) Scanner
Our CT scanner from Siemens is operated in conjunction with diagnostic radiologist Dr. Lars Emde.
It provides images of joint, bone and spinal column changes and precise targeting of infiltration treatments of joints and spinal column for:
Minimally invasive pain therapy
Facet infiltration
Facet denervation
Periradicular therapy (PRT)
Sonographic scanner
