S.B.U. Istanbul Mehmet Akif Ersoy Chest, Heart and Vascular Surgery Training and Research Hospital
Radiology Department Introduction
There are 3 Doppler Ultrasound (US) devices in the Doppler ultrasound unit of our hospital’s radiology department.
With the Doppler US devices in our radiology department, the arteries and veins of the arms and legs, neck vessels, and abdominal vessels (aorta, kidney, liver, etc.) can be examined. Narrowing of the vessels, valve insufficiency, and intravascular clot formation can be diagnosed.
Ultrasound examinations can also be performed for all abdominal organs, the neck region (thyroid gland, salivary glands), the breast, and other superficial body structures.
The following examinations are performed in the Doppler Ultrasound Unit of the Radiology Department:
Lower extremity arterial Doppler US
Lower extremity venous Doppler US
Lower extremity perforator vein Doppler US
Upper extremity arterial Doppler US
Upper extremity venous Doppler US
Carotid artery Doppler US
Vertebral artery Doppler US
Abdominal aorta Doppler US
Renal artery Doppler US
Portal vein Doppler US
Inferior vena cava Doppler US
Iliac artery Doppler US

Abdominal US
Hepatobiliary US
Renal US
Urinary US
Pelvic US
Thyroid US
Neck US
Thorax US
Breast US
Superficial US
Computed Tomography (CT) Unit
Our hospital’s radiology department has a multislice CT scanner (640-slice) in the Computed Tomography (CT) unit.
With the latest technology 320-detector (640-slice) CT device, the heart vessels can be scanned in about one-third of a second. Narrowing in the heart vessels can be demonstrated in detail through virtual (non-invasive, bloodless) imaging.
With this CT device, virtual angiography of not only the heart vessels but also the brain, neck, chest, abdomen, and arm and leg vessels can be successfully performed within seconds.
In addition, all CT examinations of the brain, neck, chest, abdomen, arms, and legs other than angiography can also be performed.
The following examinations are performed in the CT Unit of the Radiology Department:
Coronary CT angiography
Coronary calcium scoring CT
Thoracic CT angiography
Pulmonary CT angiography
TAVI CT angiography
Abdominal CT angiography
Renal CT angiography
Lower extremity CT angiography
Upper extremity CT angiography
Carotid CT angiography
Cerebral CT angiography
CT venography
CT urography
Brain CT
Neck CT
Paranasal sinus CT
Temporal bone CT
Thorax CT
Abdomen CT
Extremity CT
Vertebra CT
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Our hospital’s radiology department has a 1.5 Tesla Magnetic Resonance (MRI) imaging device.
With the MRI device in our radiology department, all MRI examinations of the heart, all vessels, brain, neck, chest, abdomen, arms, and legs can be performed.
The following examinations are performed in the MRI Imaging Unit of the Radiology Department:
