Abstract:
A historical review is given on the installation of the Department of Radiotherapy of the 1st Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and its further development to the Department of Irradiation of the 1st and 2nd Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Vienna University. The milestones of the last 40 years like the change to the "New Stockholm Method" (1954), the new construction and adaptation (1968-1972) with the installation of a telecobalt-therapy-unit (1972), the conjunction of the department of radiotherapy of both university departments to a single department in the same year and finally the introduction of the after-loading method in brachytherapy (1980) are pointed out specifically.

X-ray Imaging
Positron Emission Tomography
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body being...
Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT
Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
