European Preventive Centre (EPC)

European Preventive Centre which was founded in 2007, offers a wide range of diagnostic and preventive services. Its aim is to prevent diseases and to preserve your health. The possibilities of modern diagnostic equipment and the use of new imaging techniques make it possible to identify various diseases at early stage. Minimally invasive techniques help to avoid surgeries and open operations.

Diagnostic Centre in Germany

The European Centre for Preventive Medicine offers its patients a complex medical examination program. Everybody can pass a standard examination (both women and men), as well as physical examination or comprehensive examination of internal organs. It is of particular interest to determine the “biological age”, from which you can develop an individual strategy to increase your life expectancy.

Diagnostic Centre at the Frankfurt Gate

The first diagnostic centre in Germany exists since 2003. It opened its doors for the outpatient diagnostic PET / CT (positron emission tomography / computed tomography). This centre offers various diagnostic technology in many fields of oncology, cardiology and neurology.

Diagnostic centres in Germany

Diagnostic Centre pays great attention to medical innovations.

In November 2006 first PET / CT high resolution was used to examine cardiac activity without direct invasion into the body (non-invasive method).

The clinic offers a wide range of conventional nuclear-medical methods:

  • CardiacGatedSinglePhoton Emission ComputerAssistedTomography (SPECT)
  • Cardio -SPECT / CT
  • Scintigraphy of the adrenal gland
  • Lungventilation and perfusion scintigraphy
  • Tomography of cerebral blood flow using high-resolution scanner (SPECT), MRI and brain-perfusion tracers 99m TC-ECD (Neurolite)
  • Parkinson’s disease tests and diagnosis
  • Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy
  • Positron emission tomography (PET)
  • Thyroid scintigraphy
  • In-vitro-diagnostic thyroid test
  • Parathyroid scintigraphy
  • Diagnosis of esophageal patency
  • Gastric scintigraphy
  • Salivary gland scintigraphy
  • Schilling test (check the resorption of vitamin B12)
  • Lacrimal scintigraphy
  • Full, partial and three-phase body scan
  • Densitometry (measurement of bone mineral density)
  • Determination of renal function
  • Captopril test

Therapy

The clinic offers the following types of therapy:

  • radioiodine therapy of benign and malignant thyroid diseases
  • Therapy for bone pain palliation in skeletal metastases  (Samarium 153)
  • Radiosynoviorthesis to treat inflammatory joint diseases and “activated” arthrosis, such as knee osteoarthritis (Yttrium 90), the shoulder joint (Rhenium 186), small joints (Erbium 169).

Treatment results

  • Reducing pain
  • Eliminating pain
  • Improvement of joint function

Diagnostic centre equipment

The clinic uses the most modern equipment for quick and accurate diagnosis:

  • PET / CT systems: application in oncology, cardiology and neurology
  • Multi-headed gamma camera: used in PET and SPECT for body scan
  • Special mini-gamma camera for in-vivo-diagnosis of thyroid diseases
  • Ultrasonography for diagnosis diseases of the thyroid gland
  • Bonedensity measurements with GE LunarProdigy scanner
  • Laboratory test for thyroid function using the RIA-mat TSH kit
