Description

Radiology

Digital imaging of the organs in our body using radiology, X-rays (x-ray), mammography,
computed tomography (CT), angiography), sound waves (ultrasonography, Doppler),
and magnetic field (magnetic resonance imaging – MR) tests, helps the diagnosis
of diseases, pre-treatment and later it is a medical science that serves to
guide clinicians.

Diagnostic radiology

Diagnostic radiology covers all kinds of non-invasive
imaging procedures at all stages of the disease.

In Reyap Hospital
Istanbul’s radiology unit, imaging is performed with the latest technology
devices, considering the developments in the field of medicine.

The devices in our
radiology unit are:

3 Tesla MRI

256-slice Multidetector CT

3D Tomosynthesis Digital Mammography

C-arm Digital Angiography (DSA)

Digital X-ray (DR)

Mobile Digital X-ray

MR fusion, Elastography, Doppler ultrasonography

Doppler Ultrasonography

Wireless mobile
Doppler ultrasonography

Images are displayed on workstations and computers inside and outside the hospital through a system
called “PACS (picture and communication system)” and further evaluations are
made.

Vacuum biopsy (Mammography-MR)

It is used in the biopsy of microcalcifications suspected
of breast cancer that can be seen in mammography and masses that can only be
seen in MRI.

MR Arthrography

With this method, which provides a more detailed view of
the joints such as shoulder and hip, the image is taken after the needle is
inserted into the joint and the contrast material is given and the diseases of
the relevant joint are detected with high sensitivity.

Drainage

Conditions such as pleural or abdominal cavity effusion,
cysts, and ulcers can be treated with the drainage method by entering the skin
through the needle hole.

Sclerotherapy

Fluid accumulations called lymphocele or Hydatid Cyst
disease that develops in the liver can be treated with sclerotherapy, which is
an alternative method for surgery. It can be treated by injecting certain
solutions called sclerosing substances into these liquid-containing
collections.

Cholecystectomy

This procedure and gallbladder drainage can be performed
to treat obstructed bile ducts. Leaving a drainage catheter or balloon-stent
treatments are possible depending on the patient’s condition.

Nephrostomy

The patency of the obstructed urinary tracts by
nephrostomy to ensure proper drainage and stenting of the urinary tract in
proper patients can be performed.

Radiofrequency Ablation- Microwave Ablation

Tumors in organs such as the liver and kidney can be
burned by ablation therapy with special needles used through the skin.

TACE (Transarterial Chemoembolization)

By selectively locating the vessel feeding the cancerous
area, this method, which provides chemotherapy directly to the tumor area,
enables targeted oncological treatment that significantly reduces side effects.

Portal Vein Embolization

In cases where surgery is required due to a liver tumor
and a large part of the liver needs to be removed, but the remaining liver
tissue is not sufficient after surgery, this treatment ensures that the vessels
feeding the tumor area are tied and the healthy liver parts grow and become
suitable for surgery.

Chemo Port

A port is placed under the skin to provide permanent
vascular access in oncology patients whose chemotherapy decision is made and
whose treatment will take a long period. The risk of complications is minimized
in this procedure, which is performed under the guidance of imaging methods.
Besides, it is possible to take blood samples and other treatments to be given
intravenously.

Placement of Permanent Tunneled Dialysis Catheter

Permanent catheters, which allow patients with chronic
kidney failure who need hemodialysis to continue their treatment regularly and
in a controlled manner, are placed safely under the guidance of imaging methods.

Catheter Angiography

Conditions such as stenosis and occlusion of other
vessels other than the heart vessels can be treated with balloon angioplasty or
stent placement methods.
