Clinical question and the Urgency/Die Fragestellung und die DringlichkeitIt is important to provide a few sentences from clinical history and presentation that lead to the major clinical question that CMR investigation is intended to address. Please specify the reasons for any urgency (upcoming procedures, operations, as well as their timelines/dates). This will enable the coordinating team to plan the investigation accordingly .
|
The Vetting/Die ProtokollierungEvery request form must be reviewed and justified by the senior imaging doctor. This is done by reviewing the relevant clinical information. Patients are also pre-screened for MR/CT safety aspects. The doctor then defines the actual Cardiac MRI/CT protocol to ensure that the clinical question is addressed and that patient's safety is safeguarded. The vetting is performed within 8 hours, electronically in ORBIS.
Please ensure that you have provided us with sufficient information, in particular regarding any planned procedures and operations. |
Clinical Queries/Die Nachfragen
For any queries, either prior to making a referral or about reports, please contact PD Dr Puntmann or Prof Nagel per email. We endeavour to respond to these emails as soon as possible (usually within 30 min).
