Tamandl, Dietmar

Dietmar Tamandl, MD is a radiologist who specializes in imaging for Gastrointestinal tract cancers and oncologic radiology.

He grew up in Vienna where he graduated from medical school. After serving in the Austrian Army, he started a residency in General Surgery at the Medical University of Vienna. He completed his training in 2009 and worked as a General Surgery Attending with special focus on Surgical Oncology at the Vienna General Hospital. His research focused on liver and biliary tract cancers, and he received the Venia docendi from the Medical University of Vienna for his research in that field (Assistant Professor).

In 2010/11 he completed a Surgical Oncology Fellowship at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, where he was trained in Advanced Surgical Oncology procedures. His special focus was colorectal and hepatobiliary/pancreatic surgery. During that fellowship, his interest in radiology was raised and continued to increase after his return to Vienna in 2011. After working at the Surgical Department for almost another year, he decided to switch subjects and began a new residency in Radiology, which he completed in 2017. In 2017, he also passed the European Board Examination for Radiology (EBiR). Similar to his previous scientific interest, his main attention is abdominal and oncological radiology. He also published several papers in that field.

He has authored and co-authored around 70 peer-reviewed articles and six book chapters. He is a regular speaker at national and international conferences. He is reviewer for several radiological and surgical journals and is also currently assistant editor at the British Journal of Radiology and member of the editorial board of the European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging. He continues to work at the Medical University of Vienna as an Associate Professor of Radiology and is currently the Department Head of Body CT at this institution. He is married and has three sons.
