Inside Amethyst Austria: Innovation and Compassion in Cancer Care
As part of the Amethyst Healthcare Group, Amethyst Radiotherapy Austria plays a vital role in delivering personalised, non-invasive cancer care across Central Europe. Based within Vienna’s prestigious Wiener Privatklinik (WPK), the centre reflects our Group-wide values: clinical precision, compassionate delivery, and accessible pathways to care.
To mark WPK’s 30th anniversary, Dr David, Clinical Lead at Amethyst Austria, joined the celebrations to share insights into how the centre is advancing modern cancer treatment. In this special interview, he reflects on our mission and how we leverage advanced radiosurgery to support patient wellbeing.

What Sets Amethyst Austria Apart
Amethyst Austria specialises in stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS)—a technique that uses highly focused radiation to treat tumours with millimetre-level accuracy. This non-invasive alternative to surgery eliminates the need for incisions, hospital stays, or extended recovery time.
In the interview, Dr David highlights four pillars that underpin our clinical approach:
- Pinpoint Accuracy
We use high-resolution imaging technologies—including MRI, CT, and PET scans—to localise tumours with exceptional precision. - Non-Invasive Delivery
Using the Elekta Versa HD linear accelerator, we deliver targeted radiation directly to the tumour site without affecting surrounding healthy tissue. - Rapid Access
Patients benefit from minimal waiting times, with same-day consultations and streamlined treatment planning. - Tailored Pathways
Each patient receives an individualised treatment plan, aligned with their specific diagnosis and health needs.
A Group-Wide Commitment to Excellence in Care
Across all Amethyst centres, our core mission remains the same: to provide timely, evidence-based, and compassionate cancer care using the most effective radiotherapy techniques available.
Amethyst Austria brings this philosophy to life by offering precise, non-invasive treatments in a calm, supportive, and professional setting. The centre exemplifies our belief that advanced technology should always be paired with genuine human care.
By continuously refining our techniques and embracing innovation, we help patients regain control, maintain quality of life, and move forward with confidence.
