Acibadem Kozyatagi Hospital provides cutting-edge facilities through a stellar team of healthcare providers and advanced technology, which includes: Gamma Knife icon PET/CT Scanner 3 Tesla MRI Force CT Scanner TrueBeam Tomotherapy HAD Sliding CT Scanner Excimer Laser Whole Body MR Whole-body MRI is one of the most recent imaging techniques, and it is used for diagnosing tumors in their early stages. The whole body is scanned in approximately 40–45 minutes. Patients are not exposed to radiation in whole-body MRI scans, as is the case with other MRI scans. Although MRI has been used to date for suspected lesions, specific software has been developed that enables cross-sectional imaging of the whole body in a single session. This method aims to diagnose tumors in various organs of the body, including the brain and neck, in their early stages, before they grow and spread. Whole-body MRI complements routine check-ups in patients with high risk of cancer or other concerns. Whole-body MRI is designed for cancer screening, and standard scans do not include vascular screening programs. Whole-body MRI scans start in the brain. Next, the neck, lungs, and chest wall are pictured. The procedure continues with the evaluation of the liver, pancreas, kidney, adrenal gland, and other intra-abdominal organs, as well as the urinary bladder. Prostate and testicles are scanned in men, while the uterus and ovaries are imaged in women. Moreover, bones and muscles (excluding arms) above knee level are assessed in the same session. It needs to be combined with other conventional screening tests in order not to miss signs of an early-stage disease when lung, breast, prostate, and gastrointestinal tumors are screened. However, non-contrast enhanced Cranial MRI Angiography that lasts about 5 minutes is offered to patients who request the test due to a high risk of cerebrovascular aneurysm—a balloon-like dilatation of blood vessels in the brain. Ultrasonography Ultrasound (US) uses sound waves to create images. Nowadays, many diseases are diagnosed using ultrasound devices. The device does not pose a risk of radiation exposure or side effects, and it does not cause any pain. Ultrasound is a radiation-free imaging modality, and therefore, patients are not unnecessarily exposed to radiation. It doesn’t cause any side effects. It can be repeated as many times as required since patients do not feel any pain during the test. Those who are concerned about or have a risk of coronary artery disease are recommended to have a check-up that includes coronary CT angiography. Acibadem Kozyatagi Hospital's international patient service center assists the patients through arranging their consultation, diagnostic services, treatment procedures, billing services, and language interpretation.
