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 collaborates with an experienced, highly qualified team of specialists, consultants and scientists. The objective of Prof. Vogl and his team is the medical care of their patient to the highest scientific standard, in accordance with the most up to date radiation protection criteria. For this purpose, a close collaboration within the team for an exchange of experience is fostered, as well as treatment planning involving the patient, in which the patient is involved as much as possible in the treatment steps by means of explanation and clarification. The doctors in the team do not bear the peak loads alone, but these are absorbed thanks to the team structure. This synergy relieves the pressure for the doctor and thus also for the doctor / 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.
Among the research emphases of the multiple award-winning specialist radiologist are abdominal and thoracic diagnostics and intervention, interventional MR tomography; he is a Co-project Leader in the special research field of hyperthermia, SRF 1470, digital and three-dimensional imaging techniques, MR spectroscopy, MR angiography, new techniques for endoluminal magnetic resonance tomography, medical imaging of the base of the skull, craniofacial and throat region, multi-detector computer tomography, breast diagnostics and intervention and laser-assisted vascular ablation. For this purpose, he uses international contacts in order, for example, to improve the treatment of hepatic tumours. His work centres on the early recognition of conditions, as well as the field of interventional cancer therapy (oncology).
Since April 2016, the Institute of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine at the University Hospital Frankfurt has had one of Germany's first HIFU devices (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound). This involves a medical application of ultrasound whereby the tissue is heated and destroyed via targeted bundling of sound waves. Possible applications are for inoperable pancreatic tumours, liver tumours, uterine fibroids, adenomyosis of the uterus, bone tumours, fibroadenomas of the breast, breast cancer, and renal tumours.
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.
