The Central Institute for Imaging Diagnostics (Zentralinstitut für Bildgebende Diagnostik (ZIBID)) of the Karlsruhe hospital covers the whole radiological spectrum, from diagnostic to interventional radiology, including pediatric radiology and neuroradiology.
In the area of interventional radiology the focus is on the dilatation and stenting of vessels by using balloon catheters and stents as well as the treatment of liver and lung tumors.
The participants will learn how the AXIOM Artis dMP is used in interventional radiology.

Typical Examinations

• Carotid artery stenting
• Port implantation and explantation
• Chemoembolization
• Technetium angiography
• Selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT)
• Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent-shunt (TIPSS)

The LMU University hospital in Munich, which uses an Artis zeego with DynaCT, is a center of innovation and medical progress, but also an institution where you can find individual care, security and confidence. It has over 2,300 beds, many institutes and numerous departments from all medical specialty fields. The LMU hospital has been an autonomous part of Ludwig Maximilian University since October 1999. Hence it is one of the largest hospitals in Germany and Europe. In the area of interventional radiology the focus is on the dilatation and stenting of vessels by using balloon catheters and stents as well as on the treatment of liver and lung tumors.
