Dr Andrew van den Heever

Dr. Andrew van den Heever completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Cape Town in 1991. He went on to complete his postgraduate training in Radiology at Groote Schuur Hospital in 1999, one of South Africa's leading teaching hospitals.

With over 30 years of experience, Dr. van den Heever has worked in multiple radiology roles, specializing in MRI imaging, musculoskeletal imaging, prostate MRI, and cardiac CT. He joined PRP Diagnostic Imaging in 2018 and has become an integral member of their team, particularly in the application of advanced imaging techniques. Dr. van den Heever is especially well-versed in prostate cancer diagnosis and interventional procedures involving MRI-guided techniques.

Dr. van den Heever is committed to providing accurate and compassionate care, ensuring that all imaging procedures are tailored to the specific needs of the patient, focusing on early detection and minimally invasive diagnostics.

Dr. van den Heever has contributed to research in radiology, particularly in prostate MRI and musculoskeletal imaging. His research focuses on early disease detection through advanced MRI technologies and improving the accuracy of diagnostic imaging for musculoskeletal injuries. He has worked on several studies involving cardiac CT for early detection of heart diseases and prostate MRI for better outcomes in prostate cancer detection.

He has also contributed to research aiming to minimize radiation exposure in diagnostic imaging, particularly in CT scanning. Dr. van den Heever regularly participates in clinical trials that aim to improve image clarity and diagnostic efficiency.
