Clinical focus

Dr. Çabuk’s work centers on diagnostic imaging within a hospital-based radiology pathway, with imaging assessment coordinated alongside the relevant clinical teams. Her listed areas of expertise also cover vascular conditions and interventional approaches: coronary steal and its endovascular treatment, arteriovenous fistula, balloon-assisted arteriovenous fistula embolization and embolization using N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate. Whether an imaging study or an interventional procedure is appropriate depends on the individual patient’s clinical picture and is decided together with the treating physicians. Related information on this site can be found on the pages for Coronary CT Angiography and PET-CT Imaging.

Publications listed with her profile address these same topics. They include Endovascular treatment of coronary steal (Cardiovascular Revascularization Medicine, 2011) and Use of a balloon and N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate for treatment of arteriovenous fistula (Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology, 2008).

How Dr. Çabuk works with international patients

Dr. Çabuk speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged when needed. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the available options. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their case before traveling; the scope of what can be assessed remotely depends on the imaging and documents that are available for review.
