• Ultrasound

  Ultrasound is a medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves similar to sonar used by dolphins or submarines. It is both safe and painless and allows a radiologist to view images and movements of the patient’s body. When sound waves are sent, they are instantly displayed on a monitor in real time. The echoes produced by these sound waves can be used to identify many objects in the human body, including how big an organ is, blood flow and function, and how big an object is. Although most people know about ultrasound as a device that allows them to see the “first” picture of their unborn child, doctors use ultrasound to examine many internal organs, including the heart, pancreas, liver, bladder, and entire body. kidneys, breast, goiter, heart, spleen, liver, prostate, testis, veins are just a few of them.

• Computed Tomography (CT)

Computed tomography (CT) produces a series of detailed images of the human body to be examined. CT is a painless, rapid scan that uses both a special X-ray machine and a computer to produce images that can provide more detailed information than normal X-rays. CT scanning can produce detailed images of organs, bones, soft tissues, and blood vessels. CT scans are used to diagnose conditions such as cancer, musculoskeletal disease, and trauma to certain parts of the body. A small dose of radiation is used during a CT scan. However, the results of CT can obviate the need for surgical biopsies and interventional surgery, which makes the radiation dose small compared to the benefits of a more precise diagnosis. The 64-slice tomography used in the Imaging Center produces precise diagnostic pictures within five to ten seconds of one’s movement. It allows it to “freeze” and better identify specific disease processes. Incredibly small details can be seen in seconds. Routine body imaging, including the brain, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis, and extremities, is displayed faster and in unprecedented detail. Incredible quality 3D images can be produced to improve diagnosis, especially in orthopedic and oncological imaging. These images are useful for evaluating tumor growth, complex fractures, equivalent fractures, postoperative evaluation, bone formation, and tarsal coalition.

• Coronary CT – Angiography (CCTA)Coronary Artery Disease is one of the leading causes of death in our country. In nearly a third of these cases, a heart attack is not only the first symptom but also the last because most people do not survive the first heart attack. Coronary CT Angiography (CCTA) is a new non-invasive test that provides a highly detailed look at the coronary arteries. At CCTA, cross-sectional Computed Tomography (CT) images of the heart are reconstructed with powerful computers that allow doctors to observe narrowing of the coronary arteries as well as the narrowing of diseased sections of the arteries. With CCTA, blood flow can be evaluated in every vascular system in the body, including functioning arteries in the brain and vessels that supply blood to the lungs, kidneys, arms, and legs.

• Multiple Detector Computed Tomography (MDCT)

MDBT

Multi-detector computed tomography or (MDCT) scanning is a rapid and painless form of diagnosis that combines the use of computers and X-rays. An MDCT scan allows the radiologist to see the location of the lesion or abnormalities.

Multiple images are acquired in a series with a rotating x-ray tube. All you have to do is stand on a table for about 5 to 15 minutes depending on the area of ​​doubt covered. The tabletop takes you through a portal (in the form of a large mass) that houses the x-ray tube and the multi-detector set. The images are acquired by detectors that take the X-ray passing through your body. The images are then sent to the computer, which reconstructs the images on the screen for the technician to see. The tomography technologist will then review the quality of the images, after you are satisfied with the content of the shot, you will be free to remain still. The technical expert then processes this information in report form to create an examination that the radiologist can review and interpret.

Some MDCT studies require oral contrast to enhance images of your body. Before the shot, you will receive special instructions if the shot requires you to consume an oral contrast agent. For other studies, it may use four contrast agents to enhance images.

Emar Angiography

Magnetic Resonance MRI Angiography (MRA)

Magnetic resonance angiography is the visual examination of blood vessels. Unlike conventional angiography, which involves inserting a catheter into the body, the implant is considered non-invasive.

MRI is used to look at blood vessels in all parts of the body, including the head, heart, abdomen, lungs, kidneys, and legs.

It can be used to diagnose or evaluate conditions such as:

• arterial aneurysm
• Coarctation of the aorta
• Aortic dissection
• Stroke
• carotid artery disease
• atherosclerosis of the arms or legs
• Heart Diseases, including congenital heart disease
• Mesenteric artery ischemia
• Renal artery stenosis (narrowing of the blood vessels in the kidneys)

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Magnetic Resonance MRI Imaging (MRI) uses a magnetic field and low-level radio waves to create medical images.

Istanbul Imaging Center MRI has the strongest MRIs in the Turkish market, at 1.5 and 3 Tesla, which is twice as strong as most other signs in Istanbul. Because most MRI devices produce unwanted “noise” similar to static in the radio, they tend to muffle the “signal” produced by the body. As the strength of the magnetic field increases, the amount of signal the body produces increases significantly, while the noise increases only slightly. The powerful magnet in the 3 Tesla Emar provides higher resolution in your images and helps your doctor make a more accurate diagnosis. MRI studies that benefit most from enhanced clarity or resolution are head and brain studies; besides it can be counted the cervical spine and joints including hand, foot, ankle, knee, shoulder, elbow and hip.
