Profile of:

Kay-Geert Hermann


Dr. Hermann is a musculoskeletal radiologist focused on imaging of arthritides. He focuses on peripheral joints as well as the axial skeleton. The majority of his research projects are in the field of spondyloarthritis, where he is also connected with other researchers from Canada, UK, Germany and Israel. He has also a strong track in applying innovative technology within medical education. He is active member of ASAS, RSNA, ESSR and DRG and was has won the Conrad Wilhelm Roentgen award in 2011. He was promoted to associate professor in 2019.
