The Institute for Diagnostic and Interventional Neuroradiology at Solingen City Hospital, under the direction of Chief Physician Hannes Nordmeyer, MD, is the leading institute in Germany. The specialised department is at the heart of neuroradiology medicine, where doctors focus on the precise diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment of diseases affecting the central nervous system. Special emphasis is placed on diseases of the brain, spinal cord and their blood vessels. Patients’ diseases are treated at the institute in an integrated manner to ensure the best possible comprehensive treatment.

Diagnostics
The diagnostic and treatment capabilities of the institute include highly specialised procedures for a wide range of conditions, including acute strokes and brain haemorrhages. In close cooperation with related disciplines such as vascular surgery, neurosurgery and neurology at the Solingen Clinic, the institute’s physicians offer a wide range of state-of-the-art treatments, from aneurysm therapy to the treatment of acute strokes with thrombectomy and stent placement.

Scientific activities
The physicians of the institute are constantly continuing their scientific research, thus contributing to the improvement of treatment methods in order to meet the highest medical standards not only in Germany and Europe, but also worldwide. Regular high evaluation of these research results, active participation in national and international conferences and intensive cooperation with the world’s leading neuroradiology centres guarantee maximum safety and efficiency in the treatment of patients at this unique institute.

Equipment with the Artis Icono angiography system
An outstanding example of technological excellence at the Solingen Neurocentre is the new acquisition of the “Artis Icono”, the most modern and powerful neuroangiography unit in the world. This dual-plane X-ray unit represents a huge leap forward in neuroradiological diagnosis and therapy, as it allows navigation in the smallest vessels of the brain with unrivalled precision. Thanks to this revolutionary technology, the institute can treat the entire spectrum of diseases of the arteries and veins of the brain and spinal cord with unprecedented precision. The unique ability to visualise the smallest details and complex vascular structures in real time allows our specialists to work with maximum safety and efficiency. This not only optimises the results of treatment at the Solingen Clinic, but also shortens patient recovery times and minimises the risk of complications.
