Institute of Radiology

At the Department of Radiology at Zuger Kantonsspital, we offer the full range of diagnostic imaging services – from MRI and CT scans to ultrasound and X-rays. We combine state-of-the-art equipment with a patient-centred approach and personalised care. Whether you’re seeking a diagnosis for symptoms or undergoing a screening, our radiologists will provide you with expert support and treat you as an equal.

Chest and lungs

Chest imaging provides a precise view of the lungs, airways, ribs, mediastinum and pleura. Using modern techniques, we investigate acute and chronic symptoms, thereby laying the foundation for a reliable diagnosis and targeted treatment.

Assessment of acute and chronic symptoms

Whether it is a cough, shortness of breath, chest pain or an unclear finding: many symptoms can be more accurately assessed using specialised imaging. We produce detailed images of the lungs, blood vessels and surrounding structures – enabling a reliable diagnosis and well-founded planning of treatment and surgery.

Detection and monitoring

The examination helps to detect conditions at an early stage and monitor them over time – such as infections, tumours, interstitial lung diseases, pulmonary embolisms or injuries. This provides a clear picture that guides further treatment with confidence.

Close interdisciplinary collaboration

To ensure a comprehensive assessment, we work closely with other specialist departments, including respiratory medicine, thoracic surgery, oncology, cardiology and emergency medicine. This interdisciplinary collaboration ensures that findings are quickly passed on to the right people and that patients receive the best possible care.
