Sonography

In our interdisciplinary ultrasound centre, we perform more than 20,000 examinations per year. The following institutions work together:

  • Clinic and polyclinic for internal medicine I
  • Institute for X-ray diagnostics

In addition to classic imaging techniques such as B-scan, colour and Power Doppler sonography, we also use new methods such as elastography and contrast sonography, as well as special image fusion techniques.

    • Abdominal sonography, including colour Doppler and duplex, to determine the direction and speed of blood flow in the blood vessels.
    • TIPPS checks, shunt checks to ensure that the shunts are functioning correctly
    • Thyroid and parathyroid sonography
    • Pleural sonography to detect fluid build-up in the layer of tissue around the lungs (pleura)
    • Liver fibrosis measurement (ARFI) to assess the degree of scarring (fibrosis) in the liver
    • Elastography to assess tissue elasticity
    • Arm and leg vein Doppler & duplex sonography to rule out thromboses and blood clots
    • Lymph node sonography
    • Soft tissue sonography
    • Joint sonography
    • Contrast sonography of the liver, gall bladder, kidney, spleen and lymph nodes
    • Liver-bladder puncture
    • Targeted fine needle puncture of organs in the abdominal area (abdominal organs)
    • Targeted fine needle punctures of peripheral lymph nodes
    • Targeted fine needle punctures of thyroid masses
    • Punctures for ascites (accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity) and drainage systems
    • Liver cyst sclerotherapy - introduction of a substance into the cyst that causes its walls to harden or scar.
    • Joint punctures
  • Two residents from the clinic and polyclinic for internal medicine I and one resident each from the institute for X-ray diagnostics, the clinic and polyclinic for surgery, the clinic and polyclinic for internal medicine III and the department of nephrology work in the ultrasound centre on a rotating basis. They are all specially trained in all techniques, including contrast sonography and interventional sonography.

    Basic and advanced courses are held regularly in accordance with KV and DEGUM guidelines.
