Dr Catarina Jung

The human body is a mystery. I became a doctor because I am fascinated by its structures and interrelationships. What's more, medicine is a „timeless field“ that constantly raises new questions. As a radiologist, I have insights into the inside of the human body and can use my knowledge to make diagnoses that are essential for further treatment and healing.

For over 10 years I have specialised in the MRI diagnostics specialised. Thanks to modern technology, detailed images of the inside of the human body are obtained. This is painless for the patient and without radiation exposure. I have a wealth of experience in examinations of the musculoskeletal system, the chest and abdomen and the head. I was able to acquire in-depth knowledge of this complex speciality during my further training in neuroradiology at the University Hospital in Frankfurt am Main.

In addition to pure diagnostics, I also offer therapies for certain forms of back pain. Immediate image control allows targeted injections to be administered directly at the site of the pain. With a very low dose of medication, a rapid effect with effective pain relief is possible.

When I started my specialist training in radiology, my first boss left a lasting impression on me. As an „old-school“ doctor, he mastered all diagnostic and interventional skills. He had firm principles that he fought for throughout his career. In this way, he was able to lead the department excellently as the best role model - and also fight on the front line if necessary.

The modern digital possibilities of Online appointments are very helpful for the practice team and for the practice workflow. This option has a decisive advantage for patients in particular: they can choose a suitable individual examination appointment 24 hours a day, regardless of our availability by telephone. In addition, well-maintained evaluation portals help patients to choose the right doctor.

With the help of the latest devices (MRI and CT), more and more images of the human body can be produced in less time.

Despite all the technical progress, however, the patient and their illness should always take centre stage. This means that you have to weigh up exactly how you can help them. No unnecessary images should be taken that could be unsettling or even completely superfluous.

This means that a medical indication was, is and will continue to be indispensable in the future if we want to help people with medical progress.

I take a lot of time for my patients and take an interest in their complaints. The pictures of the MRI examination I explain it in a way that even a layperson can understand. It is very important to me that my patients understand the Practice not only with Pictures but are informed about the findings and know exactly what to do next. If you do not have a follow-up appointment, I can organise a consultation with a suitable specialist at short notice or, in urgent cases, arrange for you to be seen in a specialist clinic.

To me that means Trust, that my patients have shown me. I appreciate the loyalty they have shown me over the years.

In general, a healthy lifestyle with a sensible measure of things - and no extremes! The most important thing I always say: listen to your body!
