Bita Panhani, MD

About Me
I am a Consultant Radiologist with extensive experience in diagnostic and interventional radiology across university, tertiary, and secondary-care hospitals throughout Germany. My principal areas of expertise include cross-sectional imaging with CT and MRI, oncologic imaging, emergency radiology, and minimally invasive image-guided procedures.

Throughout my career, I have worked in high-volume clinical environments, interpreting complex imaging studies and collaborating closely with specialists from different medical disciplines. I have particular experience in tumour staging, RECIST-based treatment response assessment, PET imaging evaluation, and the radiological follow-up of patients undergoing cancer treatment.

In interventional radiology, I perform CT-guided biopsies and drainages as well as tumour-directed procedures, including microwave ablation, cryoablation, transarterial chemoembolization, and angiographic interventions. My academic and research work has focused particularly on interventional oncology and thermal ablation therapies involving the liver, lungs, pancreas, and soft tissues.

Why Patients Choose Me
Patients choose me for my combination of diagnostic precision, interventional expertise, and multidisciplinary approach to care. My extensive experience in oncologic and cross-sectional imaging enables me to evaluate complex findings carefully and provide clear, clinically relevant interpretations.

Whenever appropriate, I also consider minimally invasive treatment options that may offer targeted therapy with reduced recovery time. By participating regularly in multidisciplinary tumour boards, I help ensure that imaging findings are integrated into a coordinated and comprehensive treatment strategy.

My Philosophy of Care
I believe that high-quality radiology requires more than identifying abnormalities on medical images. A radiologist must understand the patient’s clinical history, answer the relevant medical question, and communicate the findings in a clear and actionable manner.

My approach combines diagnostic accuracy, evidence-based medicine, and close collaboration with referring physicians. I am committed to carefully reviewing each examination and providing patients and clinicians with reliable information that supports informed and personalized treatment decisions.
