All examinations performed in the radiology unit are carried out under expert control. These inspections are also reported in emergency situations and necessary information is provided.
What is Radiology?
Radiology is a comprehensive branch of medicine that uses radio, sound waves, imaging technologies and X-rays to diagnose conditions. This unit consists of 2 main sections:
1.Diagnostic Radiology
Diagnostic radiology is used to diagnose disease symptoms or check the contribution of medications to the treatment. Tests carried out in this field:
- Computed tomography (CT), including CT angiography
- Mammography
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA)
- PET imaging and PET scan, also known as position emission tomography
- X-ray
- Nuclear medicine examinations, including tests such as thallium cardiac stress test, thyroid scan, and bone scan.
- Ultrasound
- Upper gastrointestinal system and fluoroscopy
2. Treatment and Interventional Radiology (Radiotherapy)
Interventional radiology is a system that provides image guidance for conditions that do not require open surgery.
- Waist and spine bone fracture treatments
- Feeding tube placement
- Vascular expansion (angioplasty)
- Vascular imaging (angiography)
- Needle biopsies
- Embolization used to control bleeding
- Chemoembolization
- Breast biopsy
- Venous access catheter placement such as peak catheter (PICC)
- Treatment of obstruction in the uterine artery
- Tumor ablation treatments
- Y-90 radioembolization
Which Diseases Does Radiology Treat?
Diseases treated by the unit:
- Pregnancy tracking
- Review of gynecological and pediatric diseases
- Cardiovascular diseases
- Imaging of abdomen, abdomen, breast, soft tissue lesions
- Bone and lung diseases
- Breast diseases
- Nervous system checks such as spine, spinal cord, brain, head, neck, waist, neuroradiology
- Injuries and emergency medicine
- Soft tissue and skeletal system diseases
