Research

Following the acquisition of a Siemens Multislice CT 64, we introduced in Romania new tomographic examinations such as: angiocoronarography, angiography, virtual colonoscopy, etc. In about a year and a half, we became the only clinic on the Romanian market that used a Siemens Multislice CT 64 and investigated patients from all over the country. Since then I have participated in more than 50 clinical trials on different topics, being responsible for the imaging part of these studies.

We purchased a new Siemens Avanto 1.5 T MRI of the latest generation and high precision (43 mT), equipped with 32 programs and high-performance software. At the same time, during this period we introduced on the Romanian clinical market investigations such as: tractography, spectroscopy, infusion, SWI, functional MRI, etc. Neuromed has been accredited by Siemens Germany as a “Medical Training Center”, becoming a Regional Center with medical specialization in the field of MRI and CT investigations, equipped with Siemens equipment and software.

We have been accredited by ANCS (National Authority for Scientific Research) as a Research Center. Currently, we specialize in neurodiagnostics (DWI, DTI, PWI, SWI and MR spectroscopy), having the ability to differentiate between types of intracranial tissues in general and to differentiate between types of tumors, in particular, in order to avoidance of biopsy tests. At the same time, using these techniques, separately or by combining them, we can evaluate the stage / degree of the tumor. To date, we have investigated more than 700 cases of patients suffering from brain tumors, vascular brain injuries, neurodegenerative diseases, infectious brain lesions, all diagnosed by neurodiagnosis. functional in the evaluation of various neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Neuromed has become a partner in an IMI (Innovative Medicines Initiatives) Project – called AETIONOMY, together with the Fraunhoffer Institute in Bon, Erasmus University in Rotterdam, the Karolinska Institute, UCB Pharma and others. The project was sent for evaluation and we won this competition, thus becoming the first winners in Romania of an IMI project. Our colleagues regularly publish articles in Journals of Radiological and Surgical Anatomy as well as Clinical Anatomy on imaging topics in the field of cardiovascular, urological and surgical anatomy. Moreover, due to the outstanding performances of the staff and the technology used, in 2014 the prestigious publishing house Springer Swiss Publishing House published the CT Angiography Atlas, having as co-authors our two colleagues Dr. Horia PLES and Dr. Gratian Dragoslav MICLAUS.

We started a collaboration in the field of medical research with Paracelus Medical University in Salzburg and the University of Veterinary Medicine and Agricultural Sciences in Timişoara. The aim of this project is to study spinal cord injuries in small pigs, in order to investigate the influences of different types of chronic nerve modulation on bladder function. Investigations such as CT and functional MRI have an extremely important role, contributing considerably to the success of this study.
