Radiology

Kolan Hospital Group provides a wide range of radiology and contrast radiology examinations, mammography, ultrasound and invasive radiology procedures with advanced technology equipment in supervision of our specialists and technicians of the Medical Imaging and Invasive Radiology Department. Keeping pace with the latest medical advancements worldwide, Kolan Hospital Group’s radiology center is at your disposal with its completely renovated radiology center.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (1.5 Tesla)

• Computer Tomography
• Direct Radiography Systems + CR Technology
• Ultrasonography + Doppler Ultrasound
• Digital Mammography
• Bone Densitometry
• Dijital Mammografi, stereotaktik meme biyopsi
• Digital Fluoroscopy

Providing patient service 24/7, our department accelerates the diagnosis and treatment process with instant reporting. All direct graphics are digitally generated using CR systems. In addition to the complete set of routine direct graphics and special imaging procedures, portable radiology is also at the service of our hospitalized patients.

PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System)

PACS is a picture and data management system in radiology. The system allows instant access to patient images by physicians at the hospital, their office or anywhere. In addition to provide effective image and data transfer, the system also ensures digital archiving of the patient films and access to the archive even after many years. This innovative system eliminates the physicians’ need for huge patient files and binders, and allows digital traffic of the complete data and images via a computer network. Our hospital offers x-ray imaging for 24 hours.

DIRECT RADIOGRAPHY

Our division offers direct radiography examination with digital generation via CR systems. The examinations are supervised by specialists and performed by skilled radio technology professionals with academic background. Examinations are instantly reported or communicated to the clinician in cases of emergency. All routine examinations are reported by specialists. Direct radiology examinations at our hospital are completely performed at our special department using digital RF or conventional x-ray techniques depending on individual requirements. Examinations in this category are also applicable at the patient bed in required conditions. X-ray filming is available around the clock.

MAMMOGRAPHY EXAMINATIONS

As an innovative technology in mammography imaging, digital mammography has become a fundamental diagnostic method in breast diseases and cancer. Unlike conventional mammography, digital images are generated through the use of electronic sensors. These images are then analyzed on special, HD monitors. Image post processing such as resizing, scaling and contrast settings are easily done without independently of the dose of x-ray. The following are a few of the many benefits offered by digital mammography:

Short analysis periods. Images are displayed on screen within 1 minute after imaging. This also gives an idea on image quality.

The dose of radiation is smaller than conventional mammography.

Images can be archived and transferred in digital environment.

EXAMINATIONS USING ULTRASOUND and DOPPLER ULTRASONOGRAPHY

Along with high resolution, perfect image quality provided by advanced ultrasonography instruments facilitates the diagnostic process. We are at your service in our specially designed rooms furnished with our brand new ultrasonographic equipments. Our department provides all ultrasonographic examinations and invasive procedures associated to the ultrasonographic process.

BONE DENSITOMETRY

Bone densitometry is a method used by physicians to assess the density of the mineral contents of the bone. This method identifies bone loss (osteoporosis). As with all diseases, early diagnosis is also possible for osteoporosis (loss of bone density). All examinations in this category are carried out by radio technology specialists. Screening of the bones is performed without contact while the patient is positioned on her back. The procedure taking 10 minutes is highly precise, does not require any preparation and is available at any time of the day. The amount of emitted radiation does not exceed the x-rays one is exposed during the use of computers.

MR

Our MRG system has been replaced with a 1.5 Tesla, SIEMENS(r) Essenza MRG equipment featuring the latest technology. The equipment fitted with special coils with adequate capacity for each region is capable of:

Cranial examinations for the brain, eye, inner ear and ear structures, pituitary gland, temporomandibular joint, cerebral arteries and veins,

Cervical structure, larynx, esophagus, salivary glands, tongue and peripheral structures,

Lungs, heart and all cardiac vessels,

Intra-abdominal organs, hypogastric region,

Pathologies of the neck, back and lumbar region,

In addition to standard examinations performed on the limbs and joints such as shoulders, arms, elbows, wrists, hands, hips, thighs, knee, leg, ankle and foot we also provide;

• Full body angiography,
• MR spectroscopy,
• Cranial and Abdominal Diffusion Imaging,
• Refusion MRG,
• MRCP, MR pyelography and MR myelography,
• BOS current procedure,
• Kinematics examinations,
