CT Scan
Duration
30 min
Full-body-region CT on a 64-slice scanner with AI-assisted imaging and dose-optimised low-dose protocols. Covers head, chest, abdomen, pelvis, spine, and extremities. Suitable for pacemaker wearers. Radiation reduced up to 50% versus conventional CT.
Radiologie am Raschplatz performs computed tomography on a 64-slice multislice scanner, acquiring 64 simultaneous image layers per gantry rotation using a spiral CT protocol. The practice's low-dose technology reduces radiation exposure by up to 50% compared to standard CT protocols, and since 2022 AI post-processing further accelerates image reconstruction and sharpens diagnostic quality. The scan itself takes only a few seconds per body region, making the examination comfortable even for patients who have difficulty remaining still or who experience claustrophobia. The CT service covers all standard body regions. Head CT is used for rapid emergency diagnosis of skull fractures, brain haemorrhage, stroke, meningitis, and tumours — examinations where speed of diagnosis directly affects clinical outcome. Thorax CT is used for tumour assessment and oncological staging, pulmonary embolism, chronic lung and bronchial disease, cardiac abnormalities, and lymph node pathology. The high-resolution technology detects carcinomas from as small as three millimetres, supporting early-stage diagnosis. Abdomen CT assesses the liver, pancreas, kidneys, adrenal glands, bowel, and retroperitoneal structures, covering inflammatory processes such as abscesses, renal stones, cysts, and metastatic staging. Spinal CT provides detailed skeletal imaging for degenerative change, disc herniation and operative planning, spinal cord tumours, and post-trauma assessment, using the 64-slice Viel-Schicht technique to complete acquisition in seconds. Extremity CT covers orthopaedic and trauma indications where bone detail is the primary requirement. The practice accepts GKV (statutory insurance) patients with a referral, private insurance patients, and self-pay patients, with separate appointment phone lines for each group. Patients with cardiac pacemakers are able to undergo CT examinations since CT does not use magnetic fields. Results are interpreted by specialist radiologists from the practice partnership and reported on the same day. Opening hours are Monday to Thursday 08:00–18:00 and Friday 08:00–13:00, with additional appointment slots available by arrangement.
