Radiology and laboratory diagnostics

Imaging and the laboratory — the two pillars of an accurate diagnosis: MRI, CT, PET and scintigraphy alongside histology and biochemistry.

About the specialty

The method is chosen for the clinical task

Radiology unites two fields. Diagnostic radiology uses X-rays to obtain images of internal structures, while nuclear medicine uses radiopharmaceuticals in very small doses that show an organ’s function, not only its form.

The repertoire covers MRI, CT, digital subtraction angiography for aneurysms, stenoses and thromboses, digital fluoroscopy, scintigraphy, PET scanning, mammography and sonography. The method is matched to the task, combining several when needed.

The laboratory side — histopathology, biochemistry, genetics, microbiology and virology — works in direct contact with radiologists and treating physicians. Modern detectors and image-processing algorithms make it possible to reduce radiation dose, which matters especially with frequent examinations, in children and in pregnancy.

Questions and answers

Frequent questions

How much does treatment cost in Switzerland?

The cost depends on the diagnosis, the scope of investigations and the programme chosen. We request an estimate from the clinic and pass it to you before treatment starts — with a clear note of what it includes.

Can I get a professor’s opinion without travelling to Switzerland?

Yes. We arrange a review of your documents and a second opinion from a specialist professor — before the trip is planned.

How long does it take to organise the trip?

Usually 5–10 working days — depending on urgency and whether a visa is needed.

Do I need to speak a foreign language?

No. A medical interpreter accompanies you at appointments and stays in touch throughout your stay in Switzerland.

Why CorSwiss rather than going to the clinic directly?

We are your independent representative and full-cycle medical concierge. We match the best specialist for your case across Switzerland, not inside one clinic, arrange a second opinion and agree a transparent estimate before treatment starts. From there everything is in one pair of hands: a medical visa, flights and transfers, accommodation — including for companions, a personal medical interpreter at every appointment and a 24/7 assistant for any practical question. Your personal medical manager stays with the case from the first enquiry until you return home — and remains in touch afterwards: we follow results remotely and coordinate follow-up.
