Information for Patients
Having any kind of diagnostic treatment can often be a worrying experience, especially if you or a loved one have not experienced one before. Most procedures are entirely harmless and painless. Nevertheless, it is reassuring to know more about the course and the principles of diagnostic imaging procedures. This website may help you to gain a better understanding.
Bayer Schering Pharma AG (former Schering AG) is a world leader in diagnostic imaging - particularly in the field of modern imaging agents enhancing the contrast of images from inside the body. For more than 75 years the company is developing and marketing a range of contrast media that help physicians diagnose 'internal' problems more accurately and efficiently.
Although X-ray examination is the most well-known and common imaging technique, it is by no means the only procedure for 'looking inside' the human body. There are many other non-invasive methods of examining the insides of patients, such as magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound or methods used in nuclear medicine.
The basic idea for the development of contrast media for the different types of imaging procedures is the earlier diagnosis of as many diseases as possible for the benefit of the patient.
