Organization

The Clinic for Radiology and Nuclear Medicine is part of the University Hospital Basel and belongs to the Department of Diagnostics.

The clinic is closely networked with the University of Basel. The professorships involved here belong to the departments of Cross-Sectional Medicine and Basic Medical Sciences (Radiological Physics) of the Faculty of Medicine:

• Clinical Chair of Radiology: Prof. Dr. Elmar Merkle
• Clinical Professorship of Nuclear Medicine: Prof. Dr. Dr. Damian Wild
• Clinical Professorship of Neuroradiology: Prof. Dr. Marios Psychogios
• Clinical Professorship of Radiopharmaceutical Chemistry: Prof. Dr. Melpomeni Fani
• Clinical Professorship of Radiological Physics: Prof. Dr. Oliver Bieri

The clinic (management: Prof. Dr. Elmar M. Merkle, Mia Nagy, Alexandra Streuber; deputy head physician: Prof. Dr. Daniel Boll) has a matrix organization. The medical area is divided into four organ-specific special departments as well as the two departments for interventional radiology and nuclear medicine:

• Department of Abdominal and Oncological Diagnostics
  Head: Prof. Dr. Daniel Boll (Breast Diagnostics Section: Head: Dr. Noemi Schmidt)
• Department of Cardiac and Thoracic Diagnostics
  Head: Prof. Dr. Jens Bremerich
• Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Neuroradiology
  Head: Prof. Dr. Marios Psychogios
• Department of Musculoskeletal Diagnostics
  Head: Dr. Dorothee Harder
• Department of Interventional Radiology
  Head: Prof. Dr. Christoph J. Zech
• Department of Nuclear Medicine
  Head: Prof. Dr. phil. Dr. med. Damian Wild

This is contrasted by the infrastructure-related organization of the medical-technical and administrative areas as well as IT:

• Angiography and cardangiography
  Head: Severine Dziergwa, in cooperation with Prof. Dr. Christoph J. Zech
• Computed tomography
  Head: Sven Kamber, in cooperation with Dr. Markus Obmann

• Sonography
  Head: Samantha Schmied, in cooperation with Dr. Verena Hofmann
• Radiology at Felix Platter Hospital
  Head: Sven Kamber and Emilia Schreiner, in cooperation with Prof. Dr. Daniel Boll
• Radiology at the Center for Image Diagnostics
  Medical Director: PD Dr. Martin Kretzschmar, Commercial Director: Achim Escher
• Registration Radiology and Nuclear Medicine
  Head: Samantha Schmied
• Imaging Support
  Head: Joshy Cyriac
• Management, Controlling and IT
