Goal of the division of Radiology is to develop, validate and clinically implement imaging methods for improved cancer diagnostics and therapy and to transfer the technologies into the society and healthcare system. The division is rooted within the comprehensive research topic „Imaging and Radiooncology“ with its strengths in medical physics, radiopharmacy, (radio)biology and bioinformatics, and complements the shared infrastructure with expertise to conduct clinical trials.

Our commitment to patients and research

The well-being of our patients is our top priority. Our team guarantees empathetic, professional care and uses state-of-the-art diagnostic procedures.

Innovative research & interdisciplinary collaboration

Thanks to close cooperation with specialist and research departments in our "Imaging and Radiation Oncology" focus area, we pool scientific expertise and develop new imaging procedures.

In collaboration with our partners, we are continuously improving the methodology of:

  • Sonography (ultrasound)
  • Computed tomography (CT)
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
  • Positron emission tomography (PET)

These procedures are tested and optimized in clinical studies in order to provide patients with even more precise diagnostics and therapy.

The latest generation of technology

State-of-the-art systems are available for our research and diagnostics, including

  • Ultra-high-field MRI (7 Tesla)
  • Dual-energy CT
  • PET-CT & PET-MRI of the latest generation

Cooperation with leading institutions

Our clinical-scientific studies are carried out in cooperation with

  • Heidelberg University Hospital
  • National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT)
  • Medical technology & pharmaceutical industry partners
  • Other renowned research institutions & clinics

Our mission: Innovative imaging for more precise diagnostics and better patient care.
