She was determined to contribute to the spirit of Aufbau Ost, to pass on her experience and knowledge in the field of diagnostic radiology, in practice management and to help set up medical infrastructure in the east of the country. The short stay Christiane Volkheimer had originally planned became more than 20 years working as a radiologist in Leipzig with special expertise in nuclear medicine in the institute she co-founded (ZRN Leipzig).<\/p>\n<p>Scientific curiosity and the will to drive change constantly inspired her and her team to develop their examination methods and therapies at the ZRN Leipzig. The medical technology that the team used was always cutting edge. They managed to optimize processes relating to medical findings, for example, at the same time as continually expanding the practice. Together with Dr. Susanne Schenk and a team of experienced advisors, she initiated the original idea of creating a multi-practice clinic at Johannisplatz and made it a reality.<\/p>\n<p>What is certain is that this successful development would not have been possible without the vision, and without the legal and commercial advice that she received from her husband, Hanns W. Jost.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-3 fusion_builder_column_1_6 1_6 fusion-one-sixth

The idea emerges of creating a specialist center for interdisciplinary outpatient diagnostics and therapy in the center of Leipzig.<\/p>\n<p><strong>November 2001<\/strong><br \/>\nMoved the practice to the \u201cMultipractice clinic at Johannisplatz\u201c (Praxisklinik am Johannisplatz):<\/p>\n<p>The move into the new premises also brought with it an extension to the medical technology available to the ZRN Leipzig with the addition of new state-of-the-art diagnostic systems.<\/p>\n<p>Full digitization through the installation of a RIS \/ PACS system, including speech recognition.
