From 1,761 to 6,269 Examinations – A Success Story
2013 to 2024: What Happens When Structures Really Take Hold
Sometimes it’s not the spectacular new beginning, but the continuous, systematic optimisation that brings the greatest success. This practice impressively demonstrates what’s possible over 11 years when structures are consistently worked on each year.
The Starting Point in 2013:
A functioning but expandable nuclear medicine department with 1,761 examinations annually. Solid foundation, but untapped potential in almost all areas.
The Journey:
Not revolution, but evolution. The diagram clearly shows: after a brief decline in 2016, continuous growth followed. Particularly impressive is the leap from 2023 to 2024 – the result of 10 years of structural groundwork that is now paying off fully.
1.761 -> 6.269
90 -> 2.640
2013 – 2024
Diversified
The Impressive Numbers in Detail:
256% Overall Growth – From 1,761 to 6,269 examinations over 11 years
2,833% Cardiac Diagnostics – From 90 to 2,640 examinations
8 Specialist Areas systematically diversified and optimised
What the Specialist Area Development Shows:
Cardiac Becomes Core Competency: The dramatic expansion from a marginal area to 42% of all examinations demonstrates strategic foresight. This wasn’t just expansion – this was developing a specialisation into market leadership.
Bone Scintigraphy as Stable Foundation: At 36% of examinations, this area forms the solid backbone of the practice. Continuous optimisation without spectacular leaps – but reliable and profitable.
Diversification Pays Off: Eight different specialist areas ensure stability and growth opportunities. From DATScan to parathyroid diagnostics – each area was systematically developed.
The Strategic Successes:
CT Integration Since 2019: With a 10% share today, it’s an important component of the service offering. Innovation not for innovation’s sake, but as a logical complement.
Specialisation as Success Factor: The smaller areas show disproportionate growth – those who dare to occupy niches are rewarded.
Continuity Beats Activism: The steady growth demonstrates: long-term structural work is more sustainable than short-term measures.
What This Transformation Really Means: This isn’t just growth – this is structural reinvention. A practice that works completely differently today than in 2013, but has taken every step consciously and sustainably.
The team didn’t get bigger – it got better. The technology didn’t become more expensive – it was used more efficiently. Patients don’t get more examinations – they get the right examinations at the right time.
