Additional services at the Zell am See location:

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) – radiation-free imaging with maximum detail
Ultrasound (sonography) – dynamic examination of organs and vessels
Mammography, breast ultrasound, breast MRI, ultrasound-guided biopsy – for clinical complaints, abnormal preliminary findings or for targeted clarification of unclear findings
Fluoroscopy and angiography – real-time imaging of vessels and hollow organs
Interventional radiology – minimally invasive, image-guided procedures and punctures

Special examinations and high-end technology

With state-of-the-art CT and MRI systems and automated image post-processing using AI-supported software, the institute offers numerous specialised examinations:

CT coronary angiography – non-invasive imaging of the coronary arteries
Dual-energy CT – e.g. for gout diagnosis and tissue analysis
High-resolution CT of the lungs – precise assessment of pulmonary diseases
Perfusion CT for stroke diagnosis – including AI-supported acute evaluation
MRI for neurodegenerative diseases – early detection and monitoring of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's or multiple sclerosis, including AI-supported evaluation
MRI for early detection of prostate cancer – highly precise diagnostics with AI support
MRI for early detection of breast cancer – supplementing mammography for maximum reliability
