All pathologic findings undergo double reading.

The interdisciplinary teamwork with the referring physician is a very important issue in our policy.

Therefore we aks for complete information regarding the referral such as:

• previous X-ray-, ultrasound- and MR-exams
• histological and cytological reports
• blood tests
• reports of operations

In each case requiring short term intervention, we call the referring physician.

We are contractors of all Public Health Insurance Companies in Austria.
