Radiological examination is an examination performed in all areas of the health sector. The use of various imaging technologies in the diagnosis and treatment process of diseases can be made as the definition of the radiology unit. The radiology unit provides access to images of structures within the body.
People working in the radiology unit and directing patients are called radiologists. After receiving medical education, radiologists receive Radiology training as an intern in the 5th grade. Then, in order to become a radiologist, they need to take the TUS after their medical education. Those who get the required score in the exam are entitled to become a radiologist.
Radiologists are responsible for their department and equipment and direct patients to the imaging site. They also aim to ensure that the results of the tests are accurate and clear. They read and interpret the images of the diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
The radiology unit is divided into diagnostic radiology and interventional radiology. Diagnostic radiology is imaging inside the body without interfering with the body. Mammography, ultrasound and X-rays are some of the diagnostic radiology tests.
Interventional radiology, on the other hand, is diagnostic and treatment methods performed by entering the body through small ways after local anesthesia is applied to the patient. Interventional radiology methods are used in vasodilation, needle biopsies, feeding tube insertion and treatment of lumbar and spinal fractures.
Digital radiography, scopy, mammography, ultrasonography (USG), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and DEXA (bone measurement) are the imaging methods used in our hospital.
Digital Radiography: This imaging method does not require film. A flat panel containing special phosphor screens or micro-electronic sensors is used and digital radiographic images are obtained. These images are also digitally detailed and stored.
Scopy: It is a device mostly used in orthopedics. It is used in operations such as bone fracture, hip and knee replacement. It is especially needed in the removal of an object or gunshot wounds.
Mammography: It is a radiologic diagnostic method used to examine the breast area of women in detail. It is used in the diagnosis of breast cancer, which is common in women. It is a type of screening that all women aged 40 and over should have once a year.

Ultrasonography (USG): This type of imaging does not involve radiation and uses sound waves to obtain images. It is not a method that causes pain or suffering. It is especially preferred in pregnant women and children. It is a safe method used in visualization of internal organs in the abdomen, pregnancy follow-up, musculoskeletal system diseases and pediatric patients.
Computed Tomography (CT): An imaging method that uses a special X-ray beam to create detailed images or scans of areas inside the body. X-ray images taken from many different angles are combined to create cross-sectional images of bones, blood vessels and soft tissues.
Magnetic Resonance (MRI): This method is used to clearly distinguish certain anatomical structures from other structures by using radio waves in a strong magnetic field created by large magnets. It is a medical technique used to identify and describe the differences between healthy and diseased tissues. MRI is a non-surgical way of examining a person’s tissues, organs and skeletal system.
DEXA: This is a method used today to measure bone density. The person waits motionlessly in a supine position and measurements are made with the help of a moving camera and a beam source. This procedure, which takes about 10 minutes, is usually used to diagnose osteoporosis, which develops as a result of calcium loss in the bones.
