Radiological


Our hospital has the most advanced radiological devices of high technology and all diagnostic and interventional radiological procedures are performed. The radiology department has experienced medical staff and experienced physicians who can meet all requirements for diagnosis and treatment of patients and doctors. The staff show maximum confidence in ensuring that the patients are comfortable during the procedure.


Radiologists have the knowledge and experience to perform not only diagnostic procedures such as general radiology, computerized tomography, mammography, panoramic x-ray, digital fluoroscopy, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasonography, color Doppler ultrasonography, angiography, but also therapeutic interventional procedures. The diagnosis and treatment process is accelerated by preparing the reports immediately in the departments that serve patients and doctors 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.


Ultrasonography (US) and Doppler Ultrasonography


All ultrasonographic examinations such as abdomen, pelvic, kidney, thyroid, thorax, breast, hip, eye and cranial ultrasonography are performed. Transrectal US, transvaginal US and intraoperative US services are also included. In addition to these examinations, fine needle aspiration and biopsy, fluid aspiration, catheter drainage procedures are performed under ultrasound guidance.


Vascular structures and blood flow can be evaluated in detail by colored Doppler ultrasonography. Doppler ultrasonography, portal Doppler, carotid and vertebral artery Doppler, orbital and scrotal Doppler, gynecologic and obstetric Doppler, renal artery Doppler and graft evaluation are the subjects of the upper and lower limb arterial and venous system. These examinations are carried out by highly experienced doctors. Unconditional patient satisfaction is one of the main principles of the department and patients who apply for examination can make an appointment within the same day and the waiting time for appointment is kept as short as possible.


All double contrast and biphasic examinations of the gastrointestinal system, enterocolitis examination can be done. Excretory urography, cystography, voiding cystourethrography and retrograde urography can be performed. All hysterosalphingographies are performed under the guidance of a gynecologist and the images are interpreted by radiologists. In fluoroscopic examinations, attention is paid particularly to the realization of the highest quality examination with minimal radiation dose.


Mammography


Mammography is a special examination using X-rays in the diagnosis of breast cancer and other benign breast diseases. Mammography services include screening examinations for asymptomatic patients, diagnostic examinations for women with symptomatic breast diseases, stereotaxic preoperative breast marking and consultations.


The technological features of the devices allow optimal magnification and compression techniques with minimum radiation dose. Galactography, ultrasound-guided breast marking, fine needle aspiration and biopsy are performed successfully in the departments that provide accurate and rapid diagnostic services for mammographic examinations for screening and diagnostic purposes.


Images of all examinations made using these devices are transferred to the PACS (Video Archiving and Communication System) system, which is evaluated and stored by radiologists. The integration of the system with the hospital operating system (HIS) provides rapid access to outcomes from all outpatient clinics and clinics and consultation when necessary.

 

Computerized Tomography (CT)


CT can create a detailed cross-sectional view of any part of the body and can be used to diagnose many diseases, from soft tissue diseases to fractures. It is frequently used in situations where other imaging modalities such as direct X-ray and ultrasonography can not open. Spiral or sequential scanning of any part of the body such as brain, vertebra, thorax, abdomen, bone and pelvic structures can be performed. In addition, biopsy and interventional procedures are performed to reduce the need for surgery and to perform CT-guided biopsy for the tissue diagnosis of the lesions.


Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)


All neurological examinations (brain, neck and vertebral column), vascular angiography (peripheral, intracranial, carotid and aorta), abdominal, thoracic and cardiac examinations, breast MRI, musculoskeletal system investigations, MR cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) MRI studies can be done. Functional MRI techniques include blood oxygen level dependent imaging (BOLD), diffusion and perfusion MRI, MR spectroscopy, and cerebrospinal fluid flow analysis. Mammography and ultrasound can be used to diagnose breast cancer when there is no definite diagnosis. MRCP studies are bilir- ious and can display non-invasively the pancreatic ducts and are rapidly taking diagnostic ERCP examinations. Radiological examinations that require the use of anesthesia for all ages in the department can be performed under the supervision of a specialist anesthesiologist.
