Why trust our Clinical Lead
See the full profile of the radiologist reviewing your imaging on the Clinical Lead & Medical Review page.
Sub-specialty neuroradiologist
Our Clinical Lead is a consultant radiologist (Facharzt für Radiologie) with a sub-specialty focus in neuroradiology and over ten years of senior experience, formerly Chief Resident in Neuroradiology at University Hospital Freiburg and a member of the European Society of Radiology.
European sub-specialty frameworks
Every report is prepared against the frameworks standard in European neuroradiology practice, including McDonald criteria for MS, RANO for neuro-oncology, Fazekas, MTA, GCA and Koedam for neurodegenerative disease, NI-RADS for head and neck cancer surveillance, and ASPECTS and Spetzler-Martin for vascular disease.
Plain-Language
Summaries
Every report includes a plain-language summary written for you, alongside the peer-level findings section written for your treating team. Both audiences matter, and both sections appear in every report.
Why an Independent Perspective Matters
A specialist neuroradiology second opinion brings sub-specialty expertise to imaging. For conditions such as multiple sclerosis, a brain tumour, a complex vascular finding, or a head and neck cancer, a sub-specialist perspective can add structured framework-based observations to the discussion you have with your treating team. The service works alongside your existing care.

FAQ´s
Answers to common questions about getting your second opinion
A second opinion may provide a different view of your MRI or CT scan. Imaging studies are complex and can be interpreted in more than one way, especially when considered alongside your symptoms and medical history. In some cases, another review may point out subtle findings that are worth discussing further with your treating doctor before making decisions about treatment.
No. In most regions, patients may independently request a radiology second opinion.
Our service provides an independent subspecialty radiology review of your existing MRI or CT imaging. This evaluation is designed to support and not replace your treating physician’s clinical assessment.

You can upload images of your MRI or CT scan to get a second opinion. You can also put in specifics about your symptoms and medical history to give the reviewing specialist more background information. If you have any specific questions or concerns, feel free to include those too.
You receive a detailed review of your MRI or CT scan prepared by experienced European radiologists.
