Card
Prof Dr Thomas J. Vogl is a specialist in radiology and head of the Institute of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine at the University Hospital Frankfurt.
Prof Vogl works with an experienced, highly qualified team of assistant physicians, medical specialists, senior physicians, and guest scientists. Prof Vogl and his team aim to provide medical care for patients according to the latest radiation protection criteria at the highest scientific level. To this end, the team members work closely together to exchange experiences. Treatment planning is carried out in close consultation with the patient, who is involved in the treatment steps, as much as possible through appropriate information. The team's physicians do not bear the peak loads alone, but the team structure absorbs these. This synergy relieves the physician and the physician-patient relationship.
In addition to a first-class staff structure, Prof. Vogl's institute and his team have access to cutting-edge technology, which is partially unique worldwide, such as the “Somatom Definition AS Sliding” mobile computer tomograph, which simplifies the examination for the doctor and for the patient and considerably reduces the risk of additional injuries due to repositioning the patient. In the field of ultrasound diagnostics, Prof. Vogl’s team works with the latest generation of sonography equipment, the frequency range of which enables adjustment to particular parts of the body and particular objectives. As a result, a more certain, more precise and more rapid diagnosis can be delivered.
The main research areas of the multiple award-winning specialist in radiology include abdominal and thoracic diagnostics and intervention, interventional MR tomography, sub-project management of the unique research area hyperthermia special research area (SFB) 1470, digital, three-dimensional imaging methods, MR spectroscopy, MR angiography, new techniques for endoluminal magnetic resonance imaging, diagnostic imaging in the base of the skull, facial cranial and cervical region, multidetector computed tomography, mammary diagnostics and intervention, and laser-assisted vascular ablations. For example, Prof Vogl uses his international contacts to improve the treatment of liver tumors. His work focuses on the early detection of diseases and the field of interventional cancer therapy (oncology).
Prof. Vogl has been awarded several scientific prizes in radiology, is an office-holder and member of numerous scientific organisations and organisations, as well as a member of the scientific advisory committee of numerous specialist journals.

Information about Frankfurt
Frankfurt is one of the most important financial centres in Germany and Europe. With its skyscrapers unique in Europe, Frankfurt rises above the Main on an area of approximately 243 square kilometres and at its centre accommodates about 700.000 inhabitants. Frankfurt was officially mentioned for the first time in 794 and played a decisive role during the imperial age. Much of the city was destroyed by bombing in World War II by the Allies. The historic old town, however, is preserved, just as its culturally important role in Europe. Today the old town is a tourist magnet that repeatedly attracts visitors from all over the world.
