Founding of the Interdisciplinary Brain Vascular Center at the Frankfurt University Clinic
The new center combines strengths to offer patients with brain vascular diseases the most up to date treatment. The cause of strokes is disrupted blood supply to the brain and hemorrhaging inside the cranium, which can result in permanent disability or even death.Thanks to modern diagnostics and imaging techniques it is possible to recognize earlier, and effectively treat stoke-causing diseases affecting blood vessels supplying the brain, and thus prevent a stroke. This requires close collaboration between the specialist areas of neurology, neurosurgery, neuroradiology and vascular surgery.
The Neuroradiological Institute has the most modern magnetic resonance tomagraph in the world for investigating neurological diseases and neurosurgical disorders
The new instrument is located in the Institute for Neuroradiology, led by Prof. Dr. Friedhelm Zanella, and for the first time combines an magnetic field of 3 Tesla with a particularly large magnet opening of 70 centimeters – both marked improvements for the patient, since they decrease examinations times, improve image quality and increase the comfort of the instrument.
