We monitor your concerns in all their dimensions!
Now mammography is much more comfortable and reliable.
With the world's least irradiated Tomosynthesis Digital Mammography System, we can achieve extremely sharp images and the finest details in three-dimensional mammography examinations.
With this method, a large number of images are taken from different angles and a 3D holistic view of the breast tissue is obtained on the computer with these images. Thus, cancers that could be overlooked due to overlapping tissues can now be revealed more clearly.
This mammography device, which is the first patient-controlled remote compression-controlled mammography device in the world, gives the compression control completely to the patient's control during imaging.
Do not neglect your annual regular check-ups. Erken teşhis sağlıklı bir gelecek için çok önemli…
• Air Coil (MR Blanket)
In the conventional Magnetic Resonance imaging technology, the coils were adjusted according to the body region in Lung and Abdominal MRI examinations (for example). With these procedures, which sometimes required the patient to be moved, each region was scanned separately.
With this state-of-the-art, new design apparatus called blanket, two imagings are done in a single procedure without moving the patient.
Because there are now devices that are soft like a blanket, that cover the body and that can scan larger surfaces at once, instead of spiral scanners produced with certain and inflexible molds. Moreover, it is possible to achieve faster, more detailed and more reliable results with these devices.
Coils are one of the basic components that are used to create MR images. While conventional coils are produced in certain shapes, contemporary designs are lighter, more flexible and offer wider coverage with a full fit to the body. With the body coil designed in the form of a blanket, a wider scanning area is possible without moving the patient in body parts such as arms and legs, apart from abdominal MRI. This new technology blanket improves patient comfort, creating wider coverage and more detailed images.
• Multiparametric Prostate MRI
Thanks to 3 Tesla MRI, the normal structure, function and physiology of the prostate gland can be evaluated in detail. Anatomical, functional and physiological prostate imaging is called “multiparametric prostate MRI”. 3 Tesla MRI determines the advanced diagnosis and treatment approach by making cancers visible with high resolution and soft tissue contrast in the prostate.
• Prostate Magnetic Resonance-Ultrasound Fusion Biopsy
The information obtained after the “multiparametric prostate MR” examination with a 3 Tesla MR device guides the biopsy procedures. Transrectal ultrasound and multiparametric prostate MR data are combined with special software to create a combined image called “fusion”. Targeted biopsy is performed using fusion images.
• Coronary CT Angiography
With “Heart CT Angiography” or “Coronary CT Angiography”, the vessels feeding the heart can be visualized within seconds. “Coronary CT Angiography” offers the possibility of early diagnosis and treatment without a heart attack. Unlike conventional inguinal or arm angiography, arm veins are used for drug administration instead of arteries. With this method, vascular stenosis and occlusions that feed the heart, as well as vessel wall structure and stenosis-forming plaque properties are evaluated.
• Osteoporosis Imaging (Bone Density Measurement)
Osteoporosis is the most important factor that increases the risk of fracture with the loss of bone mass after menopause in women. The two main methods used in the diagnosis of osteoporosis are DEXA and QCT. The QCT method provides more accurate bone density measurement than other methods, and the errors caused by calcifications are minimized in the DEXA method. Bone mineral density is determined numerically using computerized tomography with QCT.
• Hysterosalpingography (Medicated Uterine Film)
Hysterosalpingography, also known as medicated uterus film, is performed to evaluate the uterine cavity and channels called uterine tubes. It is a frequently used examination in infertility research and before IVF treatment. In cases where no obstruction, stenosis or adhesions are detected in the film, the contrast material passing through the channels increases the chance of pregnancy in the normal way.
• Advanced Neuroradiology Applications (MR Spectroscopy, Diffusion Tensor Tractography, Blank Current)
MR Spectroscopy is an advanced MR examination method that analyzes the biochemical building blocks of different tissue structures in the environment. With MR Spectroscopy, benign and malignant formations are differentiated in the brain, breast tissue and prostate, as well as the response to treatment is also evaluated.
It is important to know the proximity of tumors located in the brain to the nerve pathways located in the brain before the operation, and neural pathways can be mapped by performing MR tractography with DTI, a diffusion MRI technique.
CSF Flow MRI is mainly used to diagnose some types of hydrocephalus and to determine the possible benefit of treatment. It is used to evaluate the efficacy of diagnosis and treatment in circulatory disorders of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulating in the intracranial cavities.
• Elastography Applications (Thyroid, Breast, Liver)
Elastography is used to examine the mechanical properties of tissue. It is a new advanced dynamic ultrasound technique that provides information about the stiffness / consistency of the tissue by measuring the degree of strain in the tissue by applying external force. Elastography images are obtained with minimal pressure changes created by the ultrasonography probe on the tissue. Compression causes the tissue to change position, which is less in hard tissues. The less tissue displacement, the greater the stiffness of the lesion and the higher the probability of malignancy.
• Abdominal MRI Applications (MR Cholangiography, MR Enterography, MR Defecography)
Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is a non-invasive imaging method that can provide detailed information about the anatomy and diseases of the hepatobiliary and pancreatic systems (liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, pancreas and pancreatic duct). It is used to reveal conditions such as stones, stenosis, tumor pressures that may occur in the bile ducts and pancreatic ducts. MRCP is not an invasive procedure, it is used for diagnostic purposes only.
MR Enterography is an examination used for imaging the small intestine. Inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis), gastrointestinal bleeding, polyps, tumors, intestinal obstructions, small intestine absorption disorders (malabsorption syndromes, Celiac, Whipple diseases), abdominal pain, diarrhea, occult bleeding, weight loss, etc. It is used to exclude unexplained GI complaints, and pre-capsular endoscopy stenosis of the small intestine.
MR Defecography is a radiological examination to investigate defecation problems such as chronic constipation, difficult defecation, incontinence, and rectal bowel prolapse.
• MR Angiography Applications
MR angiography is an MR study that allows detailed visualization of the vessels in the human body. MR Angiography is used to diagnose especially vascular diseases. Clear images are created by applying the application with and without drugs.
• CT Angiography Applications
CT angiography is a method that gives detailed information about the vessels in our body by combining computerized tomography and angiography, which is an intravascular imaging method. CT angio is a test that can be used in the diagnosis of narrowing, occlusion, aneurysms, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism and other vascular diseases. • Advanced Musculoskeletal MR and CT Applications
(MR Arthrography, Cartilage Mapping, Imaging in Gout)
MR Arthrography is a diagnostic method that provides detailed visualization of intra-articular structures. In MR arthrography, structures that are difficult to see in normal MR examination are visualized. Contrast material is injected into the joint with a fine needle and swelling is provided in the joint capsule. After a short waiting period, MR examination is performed.
MR cartilage mapping is used to examine the cartilage tissue covering the surface of the joints with special techniques and to detect early damage areas. In addition, when cartilage injuries are treated (such as microfracture or chondrocyte transfer), controls during treatment response and routine follow-up can also be performed with cartilage MRI and mapping methods.
With dual-energy spectral CT, crystals can be distinguished from soft tissue and bone in gout and presented as a colored map. With dual energy spectral CT, it is possible to remove unwanted noise in the image, which is normally called artifact due to the presence of metal. In this way, bone and soft tissues around metal objects can be evaluated more accurately.
• Mammography
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. The cancerous mass in the breast can be detected much earlier, thanks to mammography, before it reaches a palpable size. In breast cancers that are detected before they reach a palpable size, the chance of treatment and survival rate is high without removing the breast. Especially after the age of 40, women should have regular mammograms and breast cancer screenings, even if they have no complaints.
In our hospital's Radiology Service, digital mammograms are taken with the world's least irradiated Tomosynthesis Digital Mammography System and evaluated by experts in breast radiology.
With Tomosynthesis Digital Mammography technology, breast tissue can be scanned in 3D. With this method, a large number of images are taken from different angles and a 3D holistic view of the breast tissue is obtained on the computer with these images. Thus, cancers that could be overlooked due to overlapping tissues can now be revealed more clearly.
In our hospital, breast MRI examinations and breast biopsy procedures are also performed.
The Tomosynthesis Digital Mammography System we are using was awarded the 'best invention' by Time Magazine in 2019, and it is designed to alleviate the anxiety of the patient entering the mammography room, in addition to its technological superiority in the examination. It is the first patient-controlled remote compression-controlled mammography device in the world, the compression control is completely in the hands of the patients during imaging.
The 3D Tomosynthesis Technology we use provides images with exceptional detail and superior diagnostic accuracy for physicians as well.
Now mammography is much more comfortable and safe. Do not neglect your annual regular check-ups. Early diagnosis is very important for a healthy future…
