Second Opinion
During preventive check-ups or examinations for specific complaints, tumors are sometimes discovered and diagnosed. For patients, this is very distressing news. A medical second opinion from renowned doctors provides security and confidence in receiving the best therapy in this situation.
The Benefits
for Patients
The Radiology Center in Vienna is Austria’s most modern imaging diagnostic center, equipped with the latest devices and a team of internationally leading doctors.
We have developed the “Second Opinion” product to alleviate the fears and concerns of affected patients and their families by having the initial diagnoses reviewed once again by the Radiology Center.
We also use AI (Artificial Intelligence). With our Second Opinion, you receive a second, high-quality diagnosis that is crucial for selecting the right treatment and thus for your chances of recovery.
The Process – Fast and Affordable
The Radiology Center aims to be affordable for as many patients and their families as possible and not only for the very wealthy. To provide this fast and affordable “Second Opinion” service, the Radiology Center has developed a digitally supported process.
Patients send us their existing radiological data and diagnoses digitally and receive a quick, neutral, and high-quality review of their diagnosis. The entire process is conducted online, allowing patients to bypass office hours.
As part of the Second Opinion, the submitted imaging data and translated diagnoses are reviewed and analyzed. Our Second Opinion diagnosis forms the basis for the assessment of potential therapy options by specialists in oncology, radiation therapy, or surgery. Our goal is for patients to receive the best treatment and thereby optimize their chances of recovery.
Next Steps
With our Second Opinion, patients receive a quick, neutral, and high-quality review of their diagnosis. But the Radiology Center goes even further: for each individual case, we support patients and their families with the next steps for their therapy. Our Second Opinion provides immediate access to highly qualified specialists who work with state-of-the-art treatment methods.
One option is that the Radiology Center, together with its local partners, develops specific therapy schemes and regularly monitors their adherence and results.
If patients wish to be treated by the best doctors in Vienna, we can provide their findings for a consultation at the Vienna Private Clinic Academy Central European Cancer Center or other renowned institutions. Their case will be presented to a tumor board. A tumor board consists of a group of doctors and specialists from various disciplines who meet weekly to discuss cancer cases and share their knowledge.
The result, known as the tumor board decision, is a collective assessment of the diagnosis by the specialists, an interdisciplinary treatment plan, potential alternative therapy options, or the recommendation of further investigations to secure the diagnosis and the appropriate therapy. We can organize video conferences with doctors for patients at all stages.
Thus, our Second Opinion service helps patients receive treatment from the best doctors in Vienna without having to travel to Vienna.
Costs and Terms
The Second Opinion is a standardized product with fixed prices.
Patients can inquire with their insurance company or health insurer whether the costs for a second opinion are covered, which is the case with good supplementary insurance.
If a second opinion is not possible or advisable, you will receive a full refund of the amount paid. The entire process is GDPR-compliant online. All further steps after creating the Second Opinion, such as consultations with treating doctors, therapy recommendations, and support during therapy, are, of course, offered individually in advance.
