Radiology is a medical specialty that focuses on the use of imaging techniques for diagnosing and treating diseases. These techniques utilize various methods to produce images of the inside of the body, helping doctors make diagnoses and plan treatments.
In our practice, we use the standard radiological procedures.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Computed Tomography (CT) are both imaging techniques used in medicine for diagnosing diseases, but they differ in their underlying technology and applications.
MRI uses strong magnetic fields and high-frequency waves to create detailed images of the inside of the body. It influences the hydrogen atoms in the body through the magnetic field, and the signals sent back are processed by a computer to generate images.
CT, on the other hand, uses X-rays to produce cross-sectional images of the body. The CT scanner rotates around the body, capturing multiple X-ray images from different angles, which are then combined into detailed 2D or 3D images.
You do not need an appointment for X-ray, bone density, and mammography examinations. Simply visit our practice during office hours.
After the examination is completed, Prof. Dr. med. Mäurer will review the images and prepare a detailed report. This report will be sent to your referring doctor within a few days, where you can then discuss the findings and potential treatment options.
Following your examination, you will receive an access code to our patient portal “easyRadiology,” where you can view your images and independently grant access to other individuals (doctors, therapists).
You are also welcome to collect the report from our practice by presenting an ID or your health insurance card. To avoid unnecessary trips, please call our practice beforehand to check if the report is ready.
After the examination, you will receive an access code to our patient portal “easyRadiology.” Here, you can access your images and report data and independently grant access to other individuals (doctors, therapists).
All patients with statutory health insurance must bring a valid referral slip for the examination as well as their health insurance card.
Privately insured patients do not need a referral slip or health insurance card but should bring a valid ID. However, it is still recommended to bring a referral slip from a referring doctor to ensure an efficient examination through targeted inquiries.
If you have images and reports from previous examinations of the relevant body regions, please bring them with you to the appointment.
If you have an implant or metal in or on your body, please bring the implant or material documentation to the appointment so that we can determine MRI compatibility if necessary.
For examinations with contrast agents, please bring the following lab values (not older than 6 weeks):
For MRI examinations:
Creatinine value (provides information about your kidney function)
For CT examinations:
TSH value (provides information about your thyroid function) and creatinine value.
Your health and safety are our top priority. In certain circumstances, an MRI examination may only be conducted under special precautions or not at all. Here are the most common reasons:
✓ You have certain implants or metals in your body:
✓ You are pregnant
In our facility, examinations are conducted for patients starting from the second trimester of pregnancy.
✓ Certain Medications or Health Conditions:
Yes. Your body weight must not exceed the limit of 230 kg set by the manufacturer of the equipment!
We kindly ask you to cancel your appointment at least 24 hours in advance if you are unable or do not wish to attend. This allows us to offer the appointment to other patients who often urgently need examinations. Thank you for your support!
Short-term appointments are available for all types of examinations at various locations. Appointments can be scheduled online, by phone, or in person at our practice on Leipziger Straße.
