CT radiotherapy planning prostate

Home PET/CT CT Abdomen / Pelvis Prostate

In computed tomography (CT), many X-ray images of an object are taken from different directions; so-called “sectional images” are subsequently reconstructed from the acquired volume on the basis of these images. Computed tomography is only used in exact compliance with radiation protection and when the examination is clinically necessary.

Questionnaire

You will need: Assignment (detailed brief), previous images/findings, creatinine level (can also be taken and checked at our clinic); completed questionnaire.

The region is cleared of disturbing clothing, and the examination is performed in the examination room lying on an examination table. You will mostly receive iodine-containing contrast medium.

Sometimes the use of contrast medium (iodine) is required for differentiation between individual structures and between healthy and diseased tissue. Adverse side effects are (extremely) rare.

These examinations are provided as private services. This means that they will not be billed directly to the health insurance company, but will be billed directly to you in the form of a fee invoice.

In Austria, nearly 5,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year. This makes prostate cancer – together with lung cancer – one of the most common cancers in men over the age of 50.

The causes of its development and risk factors (genetic predisposition) are still largely unknown. However, it is possible to detect the malignant tumor at an early stage within the framework of preventive examinations.

Within a very short time, you and your treating urologist will receive a clear and reliable diagnosis from us thanks to the latest and gentle technologies on a scientifically established basis. We will be happy to accompany you from the first suspicion to the diagnosis and, if necessary, through the therapy to the aftercare.
