Experience diagnostics with calm assurance. Radiology and cardiology hand in hand in the centre of Munich.

Neuroradiology · Munich

Clarity for head and nervous system.

Neuroradiology.

Headache, dizziness, numbness – complaints of the nervous system are often hard to pin down. Imaging of the brain, vessels and spine calls for dedicated experience: what is seen depends on what is being looked for. Here, a specialist in radiology and neuroradiology reads your images – a dual qualification that is rare in private practice.

What matters

An image is only as good as the question it is meant to answer.

An MRI of the head is not a standard product. Whether a sequence reveals small vessel occlusions, whether an angiographic study captures an aneurysm, whether inflammatory foci can be told apart from scars – all of this is decided before the examination, in the choice of protocol. This is exactly where neuroradiological experience pays off. And where physics and medicine come together, the technique can be tailored to the question, rather than the question to the technique.

An MRI of the skull – often simply called a head MRI – shows the brain, brainstem and cerebellum without radiation.

Where neuroradiology sharpens the view

In neuroradiology, MRI is the central, radiation-free method for the brain, spinal cord, nerves and vessels; the evidence-based criteria of the specialist societies (including the ACR Appropriateness Criteria) provide a recognised framework for choosing the appropriate protocol in each case.

Stroke prevention

Magnetic resonance angiography (MR angiography, vessel imaging without a catheter) of the brain-supplying vessels: narrowings and circulatory disturbances become visible before they lead to an event.

Aneurysm assessment

Vessel outpouchings in the brain, especially with a family history – imaging is usually possible without contrast agent.

Headache & dizziness

Structured work-up of unclear complaints: brain, vessels, nerve exit points and inner ear assessed in a single session.

Spine & nerves

Herniated disc, spinal canal narrowing, nerve root compression – imaging of nerve and soft tissue that remains hidden on the X-ray.

Chronic inflammatory CNS diseases

In multiple sclerosis (MS) and related diseases, MRI is the most important imaging method – it detects inflammatory lesions in the brain and spinal cord and is an integral part of diagnosis and follow-up.

Brain fog after infections

Especially given the marked rise in post-viral neurological syndromes and dysautonomias – for example in post-COVID – a cranial work-up is useful in order to reliably rule out other causes of “brain fog”, impaired concentration and memory problems.

Does this sound familiar?

Complaints that deserve an answer

  • New-onset or changed headache
  • Dizziness, unsteady gait
  • Numbness or tingling in arms or legs
  • Visual disturbances, double vision
  • Tinnitus without an ENT finding
  • Word-finding or memory difficulties
  • Back pain radiating into the leg

Not every one of these complaints has a dangerous cause – but each of them deserves an answer. Imaging brings clarity in both directions: it finds what is there, and rules out what is worrying.

How it works

Three steps to clarity

Choose an appointment

Online or by phone – appointments usually at short notice; emergencies accommodated. Call us.

The examination

Depending on the question, 20 to 40 minutes, without radiation; contrast agent only when the question truly requires it.

Findings & consultation

You speak with the specialist who read your images – on request with referral to neurology or ENT.

For referring colleagues

Neuroradiological imaging with a question-specific protocol – read by a specialist in radiology and neuroradiology. Short-notice appointments, images sent directly into your system on request.

Disease facts & context

In Germany around 270,000 people suffer a stroke each year¹ – it is one of the most common causes of lasting disability in adulthood. A considerable proportion of events is due to narrowings of the brain-supplying vessels that develop over years without causing symptoms.² Unruptured brain aneurysms are found in about three percent of adults³ – usually as an incidental finding, but with a family clustering the risk rises markedly, which is why specialist societies consider a targeted work-up in this situation.⁴ Both can be depicted with magnetic resonance angiography without radiation exposure and usually without contrast agent.⁵ Whether such an examination makes sense in your case depends on your personal history – we clarify that together, calmly.
