About us
Dr. med. Alexandra Borchert
Dr. med. A. Borchert absolved her clinical training and achieved her certificates in Neurology at the University Hospital of Münster, Germany and worked there as a consultant until 2013, since 2013 as Senior Physician, Clinic for Neurology and Stroke Unit, AVK Vivantes Berlin. She obtained her doctoral degree in MRI and CT imaging from the University Hospital Münster, Institute of Radiology. Since 2019 she has a private practice for Neurology with Neuromuscular Ultrasound in the Pauwels Clinic in Aachen.
- Special qualification for nerve and muscle ultrasound: In addition to her clinical work, Dr. Borchert has developed a scientific interest for diseases of the peripheral nerves and the use of diagnostic nerve and muscle ultrasound and is certified by DEGUM and DGKN. As an author and co-author, she has contributed to numerous scientific publications as well as book chapters and is actively involved in training and development events. Dr Borchert has been performing nerve ultrasound since 2007 examining chilren with CMT IA and other hereditary polyneuropathies and established this method in routine diagnostics. With the technical development of ultrasound, the field of application of neuromuscular ultrasound grew steadily. Dr. Borchert was involved in the implementation of clinical trials with adults and children and contributed to the policy of the 2014 “Guidelines for Clinical Neurophysiology”, on the chapter on the use and technology of nerve and muscle ultrasound, (Eds. C. Bischoff and A. Straube).
