The therapy station 75
Contact and appointments

The Radionuclide Therapy Ward (Ward 75) of the Clinical Department of Nuclear Medicine at MHH is a special ward with 10 beds for targeted molecular treatment with open radioactive substances.

Following extensive renovation between 2011 and 2013, the ward is designed to provide the best possible care for patients with thyroid and tumor diseases.

Patients receive comprehensive care from a closely cooperating, well-coordinated team of physicians, nurses, technical assistants and physicists.

State-of-the-art measurement technology is available for precise diagnostics and gentle treatment (computer-aided probes, high-resolution ultrasound, rapid whole-body diagnostics, SPECT-CT hybrid imaging, PET-CT).

The ward is also connected to an ultra-modern waste disposal area with a residue store and biological decay system. Due to the extensive radiation protection, high-dose therapies can be carried out without restriction if required.

The modern equipment also includes

  • TV, telephone and WLAN reception throughout the ward
  • barrier-free, handicapped accessible bathrooms

Virtual visit to our ward 75

Entrance

The entrance is located in the main corridor of building K7 on level S0. The ward can be reached either from the main entrance via connecting corridors or through the street entrance in K7.

Sluice

As the ward is a closed radiation protection area (so-called "controlled area"), patients, staff and material enter the area via airlocks.

Waiting area

Directly behind the gates is a waiting area where patients can wait to be admitted by the nursing staff and assigned to their room.

Recording

Important information is collected by our nursing staff, the patient is briefed on the ward procedures and then taken to his room.

Patient room

The 10 single rooms in the ward are modern and attractively furnished, with their own TV, telephone, WLAN reception and private toilet with washing area.

Double room

Two of the 10 rooms offer enough space to be temporarily used as double rooms by adding extra beds.

Bad

Each of the rooms is equipped with its own toilets. In addition, there is a barrier-free, handicapped-accessible toilet on the ward. The modern showers on the ward are barrier-free.

Application

The radioiodine capsules are administered in the ward's application room. The doses determined individually for each patient are prepared, measured and administered here.

Measuring probe

Here, the amount of radioactivity remaining in the patient's body is measured every day after application. The results make it possible to assess the effectiveness of the treatment.

Common room

As soon as the residual activity falls below the first limit value, patients can move freely around the ward (without leaving it). A get-together in the common room is possible.
