Radiology

Welcome!

The different tissues of the body have different densities and thus absorb X-rays to different degrees. Within fractions of a second, an image of the inside of the body is created during examinations – with very low radiation exposure in radiology today. The X-ray machines at the Radiology Center in Vienna provide patients with X-ray images in excellent digital quality immediately after they have been taken.

All examinations consist of two steps:

  • the technical phase of producing the image data set or digitally stored information (information acquisition)
  • and the phase of specialist diagnosis (processing of the acquired information).

Of course, patients can choose to have their radiological examination performed by Radiologist Dr. Sailer or Dr. Peloschek. These examinations are performed in Vienna directly by the elective physician Doz. Dr. Johannes Sailer (elective physician of all health insurance companies, private, no e card).

FAQ's

To the broad specialty of Radiology belong next to the X-ray also the Sonography (Ultrasound examination), the Computed tomography (CT) and the Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

After registration (with e-card or ID card), you will be seated in one of our waiting areas. From there, the Radiology Center staff will lead you to a changing room. There you will have the opportunity to provide information about your condition, and you will also receive information about the X-ray, computed tomography CT or ultrasound examination.
After the completion of the diagnostic radiology examination, you will receive the images and the information to view the findings online. The billing is done by the elective doctor Dr. Johannes Sailer (elective doctor of all health insurance private).

The different tissues of the body have different densities and thus absorb X-rays to different degrees. Within fractions of a second, an image of the inside of the body is created – with today’s very low radiation exposure (imaging procedure). The Radiology Center’s X-ray equipment provides X-ray images in excellent digital quality immediately after they are taken.
X-rays are also used in computed tomography (CT), but in MRI the images are obtained using magnetic fields and radio waves.

X-rays are produced by the use of high voltage current in X-ray tubes. X-rays are “ionizing” rays, which are rays that can remove electrons from atoms or molecules. X-rays are used only with exact attention to radiation protection and when the examination is clinically justified. The amount of X-rays used varies – depending on the patient and the information required – and is therefore always individually adjusted.
In practical terms, X-rays pass through the human body in much the same way that sunlight passes through paper or flower petals. The different tissues of the human body have different shadowing effects on the X-rays used, so they also appear in different shades of gray, black and white (shading or brightening) on the X-ray image.
X-rays are the radiological method of first choice for all diseases of the musculoskeletal system (e.g. broken bones) or the lungs (e.g. pneumonia).

An X-ray is a procedure in which a short X-ray flash is triggered by an electric current, similar to photography with a flash light, which exposes a sensitive film (detector) on the other side of the patient through the patient. The imaged organs cast a shadow on the detector, and from these shadow images, specialists can deduce the correct information.

The Radiology Center performs the following X-ray examinations:

Fluoroscopy, similar to videography, involves the calculation of many sequential images from a series of X-ray flashes by very fast detectors.

The following examinations are performed at the Radiology Center:

  • Angiography (imaging of blood vessels).
  • Gastric and intestinal examinations

Sonography (also echography or colloquially ultrasound sonography) is the use of ultrasound as an imaging procedure for the examination of organic tissue (thyroid, liver, etc.) in medicine and veterinary medicine as well as technical structures. Ultrasound can also be used safely in pregnant women and children for imaging internal organs, and also the gastrointestinal tract (appendicitis, appendicitis). However, air, gas and bone affect the possibilities of ultrasound examination. impenetrable barriers to this procedure.

In sonography, ultrasound waves are generated and measured by piezoelectric crystals in a transducer. The different tissues of the human body reflect and scatter sound waves to different degrees; images are calculated from the reflected signals Sonography Vienna. If the ultrasound waves hit a moving surface (such as blood cells in flow), they are reflected at a different frequency (= Doppler effect). Air, gas and bone form impenetrable barriers to this technique.

With a so-called duplex sonography, both flow direction and flow velocity of the blood stream within a blood vessel can be determined. The mobility of organs, joints and tendons can also be displayed and assessed as an image in real time with the active assistance of the patient.

Ultrasound examinations do not require X-rays, so they can also be used without hesitation in pregnant women and children.

The following ultrasound examinations are performed at the Radiology Center:

  • Abdominal Sonography: Lliver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, urinary bladder, prostate, uterus, ovaries.
  • Surface Sonography for “small organs” (English: “small parts”): Lymph nodes, thyroid gland, testicles, joints, muscles, breast
  • Doppler-Sonography: carotid artery, aorta, leg arteries, veins

In breast examinations of young women or in the diagnosis of cysts, sonography is often used as the sole examination. Furthermore, it represents an important complement to every mammography and a first-choice method for examinations between planned mammographies.

In the Radiology Center we offer the following possibilities of examination in case of suspicion of osteopenia: Bone density measurement with DEXA (osteodensitometry).

At the Radiology Center we offer the following examination options in cases of suspected osteoporosis: Bone densitometry with DEXA (osteodensitometry), X-ray, computed tomography CT in case of bone fracture.
