About

HELIMED Diagnostic Imaging is a privately held Polish imaging group founded in 2002, headquartered in Katowice with 11 centres spanning eight cities in the Silesia and Opole voivodeships. The company holds dual ISO 9001 (quality management) and ISO 27001 (information security) certification, reflecting clinical-grade process control and data handling standards that few regional imaging providers match. HELIMED operates as a Siemens Healthineers reference centre and was the first organisation in Poland to deploy a 3-Tesla MRI system (Siemens MAGNETOM Skyra) at a university hospital setting, establishing it as a benchmark for high-field imaging in the country. The flagship Katowice location at Ceglana 7 — branded Centrum Doswiadczen Pacjenta (Patient Experience Centre) — houses both MRI and CT modalities alongside ultrasound, offering sedated scanning for paediatric and claustrophobic patients. Equipment runs on current-generation Siemens platforms with advanced coil arrays, enabling sequences such as diffusion-weighted whole-body imaging, cardiac MRI, and spectroscopy that are unavailable on older 1.5T installations. CT capabilities include coronary calcium scoring, virtual colonoscopy, and high-resolution lung CT (HRCT). The centre accepts both private patients and NFZ (public health insurance) referrals, as well as major Polish private insurance networks. Official partnerships with professional sports teams — including ZAKSA Kedzierzyn-Kozle (volleyball), Piast Gliwice (football), and the Polish Biathlon Association — underline the group's sports-medicine imaging expertise. Appointments are available through online booking or by phone, with registration hours Monday through Friday.

Brain MRI

High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging of the brain performed on a Siemens 3-Tesla platform, providing detailed visualisation of cerebral structures, white-matter tracts, and vascular anatomy without ionising radiation. The scan covers the entire cranial vault from vertex to foramen magnum, generating multi-planar images in T1, T2, FLAIR, and diffusion-weighted sequences that allow identification of lesions, mass effects, demyelination, and early ischaemic changes.

Cervical Spine MRI

Magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical spine (C1-C7) using 3T Siemens technology, providing detailed cross-sectional views of vertebral bodies, intervertebral discs, spinal cord, nerve roots, and surrounding soft tissues. The scan identifies disc herniations, foraminal stenosis, cord compression, and degenerative changes with high spatial resolution.

Lumbar Spine MRI

High-field MRI of the lumbar spine (L1-S1) capturing disc morphology, spinal canal dimensions, facet joints, and paraspinal soft tissues in multi-planar detail. The 3T Siemens platform resolves nerve root anatomy within the lateral recesses and foramina, enabling precise localisation of the structural cause behind lower back and leg pain.

Knee MRI

Dedicated knee MRI using a Siemens 3T system with a purpose-built knee coil, producing high-resolution images of the menisci, cruciate and collateral ligaments, articular cartilage, and subchondral bone. The scan is the reference standard for evaluating internal derangement of the knee without arthroscopy.

Shoulder MRI

High-resolution MRI of the shoulder joint performed on a 3T Siemens system, evaluating the rotator cuff tendons, glenoid labrum, biceps tendon, acromioclavicular joint, and glenohumeral articulation. The scan differentiates partial from full-thickness tendon tears and identifies labral pathology with superior contrast resolution.

Hip MRI

MRI of the hip joint on a 3T Siemens platform, providing detailed evaluation of the acetabular labrum, femoral head cartilage, surrounding tendons, and bony morphology. The scan identifies femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), labral tears, avascular necrosis, and early osteoarthritis with higher resolution than standard 1.5T imaging.

Abdominal MRI

Comprehensive MRI of the abdomen covering the liver, kidneys, pancreas, spleen, adrenal glands, and retroperitoneal structures on a Siemens 3T system. The scan uses breath-hold and respiratory-gated sequences to minimise motion artefact, producing diagnostic-quality images for lesion characterisation, organ assessment, and vascular evaluation.

Whole-Body MRI

Full-body magnetic resonance imaging from head to mid-thigh performed on a Siemens 3T system, providing a radiation-free screening survey of all major organ systems, the spine, and the musculoskeletal structures in a single session. The scan uses multi-station acquisition with automated table movement to cover the entire torso and proximal extremities.

Head CT

Computed tomography of the head providing rapid, high-resolution cross-sectional imaging of the brain, skull base, and calvarium. The scan excels at detecting acute haemorrhage, fractures, calcified lesions, and hydrocephalus — situations where speed and bone detail are more important than soft-tissue contrast.

Chest CT

CT of the chest covering the lungs, mediastinum, heart, and thoracic spine, performed on a modern multi-slice scanner with low-dose protocols available for lung screening. The scan provides definitive imaging of pulmonary nodules, lymphadenopathy, pleural disease, and aortic pathology with sub-millimetre slice acquisition.

mri

Abdominal CT

CT of the abdomen and pelvis with multi-phase contrast enhancement, evaluating the liver, kidneys, pancreas, spleen, adrenal glands, bowel, lymph nodes, and pelvic organs. The scan provides rapid, comprehensive cross-sectional imaging suitable for diagnostic workup of abdominal pain, mass characterisation, and staging.

Coronary Calcium Scoring CT

ECG-gated non-contrast CT of the heart measuring coronary artery calcification as an Agatston score — a validated marker of atherosclerotic plaque burden and future cardiovascular event risk. The scan requires no contrast injection, takes under ten minutes, and delivers a radiation dose below 1 mSv.

Virtual Colonoscopy CT

CT colonography (virtual colonoscopy) providing a non-invasive 3D visualisation of the entire colon and rectum using low-dose CT with specialised software. The scan detects polyps, masses, and structural abnormalities without sedation, endoscope insertion, or the recovery time associated with optical colonoscopy.
