About the clinic
A PET/CT scan is a diagnostic test that checks for lung cancer and other abnormalities at Wiener Privatklinik in Vienna, Austria. The price for a PET/CT scan may cost around $4,600 to $13,200 depending on the specific case. This clinic holds ISO 9001 certification, which confirms that its diagnostic services meet international quality standards.
What the PET/CT Examines
The PET/CT scan at this facility primarily examines the lungs to detect early signs of cancer. It combines two imaging methods to show both the structure and the activity of cells. This helps doctors see metabolic changes that might indicate a tumor. Patients may receive a full diagnostic report used to create a personalized medical plan.
Diagnostic Options and Packages
The clinic offers a lung cancer diagnostic package that typically runs around €6,500. This package provides a more thorough assessment than a standalone scan. It includes several components to help clarify the diagnosis:
- PET/CT scan to visualize cellular activity in the lungs.
- Chest CT for detailed anatomical images.
- Blood tests including tumor markers to check for chemical signs of cancer.
- Oncologist consultation to review the imagery and laboratory results.
- Surgeon consultation to discuss the findings from a surgical perspective.
Expert Oversight and Quality
Prof. Christoph Zielinski, a clinical oncologist, oversees the diagnostic program. This helps ensure that imaging results are interpreted by a specialist with deep knowledge of oncology. Dr. Wolfgang Gstoettner, who has over 30 years of experience, also serves at the clinic. He is the head of the ENT clinic at the university hospital in Vienna and brings additional expertise to the medical team.
The clinic uses these diagnostic results to design treatment plans without unnecessary delays. Because the facility is ISO 9001 certified, patients receive imaging that follows strict quality management protocols. If you are looking for imaging or a lung screening, you can leave a request on Bookimed to learn more about the process.

Anonymous • CT scan of the whole body Slovenia

Given how positive my experience was, I would definitely recommend this clinic to anyone needing similar care
My biggest concern was the anxiety around getting a full-body CT scan, but that worry disappeared quickly. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel comfortable and explained every single step, which was incredibly reassuring. The clinic was clean and organized, and the medical team was both professional and genuinely kind throughout the entire process. Everything went smoothly. Given how positive my experience was, I would definitely recommend this clinic to anyone needing similar care. I'm grateful for how they handled my case with such efficiency and compassion.

My experience has been entirely negative. The treatment prescribed did not follow the standard protocol for this condition. Under this treatment, the condition only worsened. I was given information about the most effective treatment currently used worldwide. I never received the doctor’s conclusion following the consultation, even though I asked for it several times. And on top of everything else, judging by the result, it wasn’t worth €500. A treatment that doesn’t work, with no documentation whatsoever. Just a conversation with a professor to whom you have to ask a thousand questions and figure out the treatment options for your condition yourself, because he offers nothing and explains nothing.
Speed of service delivery
The treatment recommended by the professor at the Austrian clinic was completely at odds with standard treatment protocols
I never received the discharge summary, even though I had asked for it several times

Angelina Ivanenko was my contact in Bookimed and even she was on vacation for the Christmas holidays she did not put on hold the communication
Very fast reaction from Bookimed in communication. Initial discussion was for an appointment in AKH and subsequently we have been forwarded to the Privatklinik. The Klinik looks very well managed. We still did not proceed with the treatment and I'm not currently able to share opinion about the Clinic itself and the treatment (will come back soon, once have treatment there). I've been in the Wiener Privatklinik for a consultation. I manage to meet the exact doctors/professors for which I was looking for a contact and did a good job. The whole story was organized and managed by Bookimed with care for the patient. Angelina Ivanenko was my contact in Bookimed and even she was on vacation for the Christmas holidays she did not put on hold the communication. For us this was very important that we are not losing time.
