Latest technology in the State Clinic Horn strengthens prostate cancer diagnosis!

The State Clinic Horn sets new standards in the diagnosis of prostate cancer and brings a groundbreaking method to the region. With the introduction of the TC-99m PSMA Spect/CT, the spread of tumors outside the prostate can be precisely shown for the first time. This new nuclear medical examination not only shows where there are tumor cells, but also enables the early detection of metastases in bones, lymph nodes and organs. So far, such state -of -the -art diagnostics has only been accessible in larger cities such as Vienna or St. Pölten, but now patients in the Waldviertel benefit from this advanced technology, which enables more comprehensive therapy planning. As the Institute for Radiology and Nuclear Medicine reports, the new method is representative of progressive medical care in the region.

The innovative examination uses a special substance that binds directly to prostate cancer cells. With the help of advanced imaging methods, high-resolution 3D images are created that help doctors assess the exact location and scope of the disease. Prim. GDr. Mate Trogrlic, head of the Institute for Nuclear Medicine, emphasizes how important it is to offer such technologies outside of urban centers. "We ensure first-class care on site," emphasizes Univ.-Prof. Prim. Dr. Martin Breitenseher, medical director of the Horn.

all -round supply for tumor patients

Modern medical care in the Waldviertel is supplemented by the integrated PACS system of the Institute of Radiology, which efficiently manages image data and makes it available around the clock. The State Clinic not only offers imaging diagnostics, but also interventions and pain therapies for patients with various diseases. Particularly noteworthy are the tight cooperation with other clinical subjects that enable comprehensive support, while tumor patients benefit from minimally invasive treatment methods, such as thermal ablation. This synergetic approach to health care shows how the State Clinic Horn significantly improves the medical landscape in the region.
