Radiological second opinion for MRI in Hamburg

Have you had an MRI scan and feel uncertain about the diagnosis? You don’t understand your MRI findings or would like to obtain an independent radiological second opinion? As a specialist in radiology with additional training in neuroradiology, I can offer you a well-founded second opinion on your MRI images – explained clearly and with time for your questions.

My values: time for people, understandable explanations and the highest diagnostic quality. I take the time not only to check your findings, but also to explain what the results mean for you in an understandable way.

Start second diagnosis

Write to me by e-mail or give me a call. The second diagnosis costs from 250 EUR (one image data set, one body region). The costs may be higher if additional work is required.

HOW THE SECOND OPINION WORKS

The second opinion follows a clear procedure: briefly notify me, submit the image data – then I start with the technical examination and the written findings. You will receive the invoice after the findings have been completed.

FOR WHOM IS THE SECOND OPINION INTENDED?

Patients who feel uncertain about the diagnosis after an MRI or CT scan or do not understand their findings. People who have not yet received a diagnosis or an explanation and want clarity.

General practitioners and specialists who want an independent radiological second opinion for their patients – quickly, competently and clearly formulated.

You ask yourself: “I don’t understand my MRI findings” or “Uncertain after MRI – what does the result mean?” That’s exactly what I’m here for.

MY OFFER: RADIOLOGICAL SECOND OPINION

My focus is on the radiological second opinion of MRI images. Optionally, I also offer second opinions on CT and X-ray images.

Flexible options: On request, you can either receive a pure second opinion on the existing report or a complete new diagnosis of your image data. As a neuroradiologist, I specialize in imaging the brain, spine and nervous system – but I am also able to competently assess all other regions of the body.

YOUR BENEFIT: CLARITY AND SECURITY

More clarity and certainty before making important treatment decisions – that is the greatest added value of a radiological second opinion.

Independent assessment: As a specialist with no commercial interest in the subsequent treatment, I will give you an objective, specialist assessment.

Comprehensible explanation: Findings and technical terms are not just “translated”, but explained in such a way that you really understand what is going on in your body.

Empathetic approach: You and your concerns are taken seriously. I take time for your questions and concerns.

IMPORTANT NOTES ON SECONDARY DIAGNOSIS

Image quality: The quality of my second opinion depends largely on the quality of your images. If sequences are missing or the image quality is inadequate, I will give you a clear recommendation for additional examinations.

Limits of the second opinion: Please note that this service is not an emergency service and is not intended for acute, life-threatening situations. The second opinion does not replace a personal examination and treatment by a doctor on site.

Data protection and confidentiality: Your medical data will of course be treated confidentially. Patient-related data is stored securely and deleted in accordance with legal requirements once the diagnosis has been completed. Please only send sensitive data via the specified channels (e-mail or WeTransfer) and avoid unsecured cloud links.

COSTS AND PROCESSING TIME

Costs: The radiological second opinion of a single image data set (one body region) costs EUR 250. The costs may be higher for additional work (several regions, extensive preliminary images or particularly complex issues).

The price includes: Analysis of your image data, written report of findings and a brief explanation of the results.

Please note: Payment is made by bank transfer after the invoice has been issued. Privately insured persons can usually submit the invoice to their insurance company.

MRI second opinion and radiological second opinion in Hamburg

Many patients specifically seek a second MRI assessment in Hamburg because they do not understand their MRI findings or would like an independent radiological second opinion before making a treatment decision. In my private practice, you will receive a specialist assessment of your image data – with a focus on neuroradiology (brain, spine, nervous system), but also for other regions of the body.

Second opinion MRI: procedure, costs, data transmission

Image data from the radiology center (CD/USB) or large files via WeTransfer are common. To ensure smooth processing, an invoice of EUR 250 is sent by e-mail (bank transfer); this is followed by a factual check and a written report. Those with private insurance often submit the invoice for reimbursement; those with statutory insurance usually pay themselves (IGeL).

When is a neuroradiological second opinion worthwhile?

In the case of findings on the skull, brain, spine or peripheral nerves, you will benefit from additional neuroradiological expertise. If you are unsure whether your images are sufficient, you can write to me in advance.
