Radiologicum Margareten

Radiologicum Margareten is part of the Radiologicum group, a privately operated radiology network in Vienna running two institutes — Margareten (1050 Wien) and Penzing (1140 Wien). The Margareten site occupies premises inside the Franziskus Spital on Nikolsdorfergasse, though it operates as an independent institute rather than a hospital department. It has served patients in Vienna's 5th and surrounding districts for many years under the clinical direction of a senior academic radiology team. The institute is staffed by a team of four consultant radiologists with subspecialty expertise across musculoskeletal, breast, and cardiovascular imaging. The cardiovascular programme is led by Priv.-Doz. Dr. Markus Reiter, whose work focuses on non-invasive cardiac and vascular imaging. Univ.-Prof. Dr. Alexandra Resch brings academic radiology leadership to the practice, and the group holds certification as a mammography screening centre of the Austrian Social Insurance Hauptverband. Radiologicum Margareten also forms part of Vienna's breast cancer network, collaborating with the AKH university hospital breast centre and the Franziskus Spital surgical department. CT services at Margareten cover the standard body regions as well as specialist cardiac and vascular applications. Equipment is modern low-dose, with the practice emphasising the minimal radiation dose needed to achieve high-resolution diagnostic quality. Cardiac CT covers three primary applications: coronary calcium scoring (CAC score), coronary CT angiography for direct lumen visualisation, and structural cardiac assessment. A dedicated vascular programme extends to CT angiography of the aorta, peripheral arteries, and carotid vessels. These services are covered by all Austrian insurance funds (Kassen) for patients with a GP or specialist referral; SVS patients additionally require chief-physician approval. The private-patient tariff for cardiac CT is published at €350. Online appointment booking is available around the clock through the website, with a typical CT wait time of approximately two business days at the Margareten location. Patients can upload referral documents digitally and retrieve results online through the practice portal. A 24-hour cancellation policy applies, with a €150 fee for missed appointments without prior notice. The practice is accessible by multiple public transport routes: tram lines 1 and 62, bus 13A, and the Badner Bahn suburban rail all serve Laurenzgasse or Johann Strauß Gasse stops within short walking distance.
