All of the medical technological equipment and services available at Medical International Istanbul Hospital are listed below:

Linac

Linear Accelerator (Linac) is a device utilized in cancer treatment, possessing the capability to generate high-energy radiation. This device plays a crucial role in radiation therapy, aiming to eliminate or control cancer cells. The method targets cancer cells during radiotherapy while minimizing damage to healthy tissues. Thanks to its dose control and efficacy features, Linac serves as a tool in the treatment of various types of cancer.

PET-CT

Positron Emission Tomography - Computed Tomography (PET-CT) is a device used for advanced medical imaging. The combined images of PET and CT allow a comprehensive assessment by merging anatomical and functional information. It is particularly employed in areas such as cancer diagnosis, treatment planning, and treatment monitoring. PET-CT can support early diagnosis of diseases, evaluation of treatment response, and determination of the extent of disease spread

MR-Linac

MR-Linac is a medical imaging and radiotherapy device that integrates Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with Linear Accelerator (Linac) technology. This device aims to enhance precision in cancer treatment by providing real-time imaging capabilities during therapy. It includes features such as real-time monitoring of tumors and surrounding tissues during treatment, the ability to create precise treatment plans, adaptability to anatomical changes, and thus minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.

Whole Body MR

Whole Body MR scan, offered to individuals with concerns or risks related to cancer, who undergo routine check-ups, is an advanced complementary check-up model. The entire body, including the brain and neck, is imaged in a single session. Whole Body MRI scan aims to provide information before the onset of disease symptoms or tumor spread. Additionally, individuals with a familial risk of tumors can also undergo this examination.

Intraoperative 3 Tesla MR

Intraoperative 3 Tesla MR is an imaging device with the capability to obtain high-resolution data quickly during surgery. Primarily used during brain operations, this device provides imaging capabilities to the surgeon with the aim of delivering information about the size and direction of tumors in hard-to-reach areas of the brain.

1.5 Tesla MR

1.5 Tesla MR imaging is a technological test that uses radio waves to capture detailed images of the internal organs of the body. This test enables the detection of diseases in various regions such as the chest, abdomen, brain, lungs, knees, heart, and pelvis.

TrueBeam

TrueBeam is a linear accelerator device used in radiotherapy treatment. It can be employed in the treatment of all types of cancer requiring radiotherapy and can focus on tumors smaller than 0.5 mm. TrueBeam is particularly preferred in the treatment of tumors located near the brain and other small-volume, high-risk organs in the body.

Excimer Laser

Excimer Laser is a device that corrects vision and refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism by giving the cornea a more even form. It is used in the treatment of myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. This device, which can be applied quickly and correct vision defects, aims to eliminate the need for glasses and contact lenses.

Spect CT

SPECT CT is an imaging technique where two different types of images can be used separately or together with a single whole-body scan. The combined images provide information about the functions of body regions and organs. It is particularly used in the investigation of involved lymph nodes in conditions such as breast cancer, malignant melanoma, head-neck tumors, early-stage cervical cancer, and bladder cancer.

Femto Cataract Laser

Femto Cataract Laser is a method used in the treatment of cataract disease, which impairs vision and typically arises from the clouding of the eye lens. Creating the corneal incision with laser instead of a blade aims to cause less damage to surrounding tissues and also correct astigmatic errors.

3D Tomosynthesis-Enhanced Digital Mammography

3D Tomosynthesis-Enhanced Digital Mammography scans breast tissue in three dimensions. This method allows for the acquisition of numerous images from different angles, enabling the creation of a three-dimensional image of breast tissue in 1 mm slices. This technology is utilized for the early diagnosis of breast cancer.

4D Breast Ultrasonography

4D Breast Ultrasonography is an imaging device used in the diagnosis of breast cancer. As an additional method to mammography, it is employed in breast cancer screening, especially in dense breast tissues.

3D Imaging and Navigation System for Prostate Biopsy

3D Imaging and Navigation System for Prostate Biopsy combines three-dimensional MR images, and ultrasound images used in biopsy procedures. Additionally, it enables the detection of cancer tumors through its navigation feature. This technology is utilized for the early diagnosis of prostate cancer.

DSA (Digital Subtraction Angiography)

DSA (Digital Subtraction Angiography) is used for detailed imaging of all vessels in the body. With the images obtained, diagnoses of vascular diseases can be made. This method can be employed in the detection of conditions such as stenosis, malformation, and fistula in vessels in various parts of the body, including the brain, abdominal region, skin, arms, and legs.

EUS (Endoultrasonography)

EUS (Endoultrasonography) is a procedure that enables imaging of internal organs using ultrasound at the tips of specialized devices used in the endoscopy of the digestive system. This method is used for staging tumors in the digestive system and adjacent organs (stomach, intestines, gallbladder, liver, pancreas) as well as examining the lesions located just below the surface of the digestive system.

EBUS (Endobronchial Ultrasonography)

Bronchoscopy is the procedure of directly observing the entire airway with an imaging device called a bronchoscope. EBUS (Endobronchial Ultrasonography), on the other hand, is a procedure that allows the ultrasonographic examination of both the airway wall and the lung during bronchoscopy. This method is used in the diagnosis of conditions such as lung cancer, bronchial bleeding, lung fibrosis, lymphoma, and tuberculosis.

Thulium Fiber Laser

Thulium Fiber Laser method is a technique commonly used in surgical procedures such as breaking down urinary stones, cutting and vaporizing soft tissue. Thulium Fiber Laser is a medical device particularly employed in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as prostate adenoma.

Ultrasonography (US)

Ultrasonography (US) is a method that utilizes sound waves to obtain images. Diagnoses of many diseases are made using ultrasound devices. This device, which has no radiation risk or side effects, does not cause any pain to the patient. Ultrasonography, being radiation-free, ensures that the patient does not experience unnecessary radiation exposure due to the imaging process.

Prostate Fusion Laser

Prostate Fusion Laser is a device used in prostate patients.

Computed Tomography (CT)

Computed Tomography (CT) is an imaging technique that uses a special X-ray to create detailed images or scans of the internal parts of the body. The captured X-ray images are combined to generate cross-sectional images of vessels, bones, and soft tissues.

Mammography

Mammography, which uses low-dose radiation for radiological imaging, is employed for screening and diagnosis of breast diseases. It is widely used, particularly for early detection of breast cancer.

X-Ray

Visualization of the interior of the body is achieved through X-ray systems. This method allows the imaging of bones and tissues within our body. It plays a role in diagnosing many diseases and planning treatment processes.
