Department of Neuroradiology
The Department of Neuroradiology specializes in diseases of the head, neck and spine. We examine you with the most modern imaging techniques. We are also specialists in the minimally invasive treatment of vascular problems, strokes, tumors, tinnitus and lacrimal disorders. We receive patients at the USZ Campus and Zurich Airport, in Wollishofen and Schlieren.
Diagnosis and therapy at the highest level
We support you in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the brain, spine and head and neck. Whether acute emergencies such as strokes, complex vascular changes such as aneurysms or chronic conditions such as dementia and tinnitus – we use state-of-the-art technology for your health.
Experience, innovation and interdisciplinary expertise
You are in the best hands with us. Our team has many years of experience in the precise diagnosis and gentle, minimally invasive treatment of diseases of the brain, head and spinal cord. Our international research activities ensure that your treatment is always based on the latest scientific findings.
Our promise to you:
- Specialized expertise: Leading team for the treatment of aneurysms and complex vascular malformations.
- 24/7 emergency standby: We are there for you around the clock – especially for time-critical diagnoses such as strokes, trauma or infections.
- Interdisciplinary solutions: We discuss complex cases in interdisciplinary boards in order to create a holistic and individually optimized treatment plan.
- Next-generation technology: We use state-of-the-art imaging (CT, MRI) and have a highly specialized intraoperative MRI suite.
- Tested safety: Highest standards of radiation protection, certified by the EuroSafe award.
The well-being of our patients is our top priority. We work closely with our clinical colleagues to ensure an optimal balance between short examination times and targeted imaging that provides the best possible support for both the diagnosis and monitoring of diseases.
The interventional neuroradiology includes all minimally invasive examinations and treatments of vascular diseases of the central nervous system. With these methods, only a small incision is made in the groin or wrist and the vessels are penetrated in order to treat them. Major open surgery is therefore not necessary. Compared to open surgery, the treatment risks are lower with these minimally invasive methods and patients recover more quickly from the procedure.
The diagnostic neuroradiology is the subspecialty of radiology that specializes in the diagnosis and characterization of diseases of the central nervous system, the spinal column and the head and neck area. The primary imaging procedures include computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
