Ultrasound at St. Martinus-Krankenhaus Düsseldorf in Germany is a diagnostic tool used to examine abdominal organs and gastrointestinal structures. The clinic offers both transabdominal and endoscopic ultrasound options to assess the liver, pancreas, and stomach. A gastroenterological check-up package that includes these examinations typically runs around €4,000.
The diagnostic process involves two main methods: traditional abdominal ultrasound and endosonography. Abdominal ultrasound checks the gallbladder, liver, and intestines from outside the body. Endosonography, also known as endoscopic ultrasound, provides a closer view of the gastrointestinal wall and nearby internal structures. These tests help identify physical changes or abnormalities in the abdominal region.
Patients can choose a bundle that includes several diagnostic tests in one setting. This package typically includes:
Dr. Viktor Alexander Krol performs the examinations. He is a gastroenterologist with over 20 years of experience. He holds specialized certificates in hepatology and chronic inflammatory bowel disease. Dr. Krol handles both internal medicine and gastroenterology cases at the facility.
