Elidor Agolli, MD

Elidor Agolli, MD is a radiologist at Acibadem Atakent Hospital in İstanbul, where he works in the Radiology unit. His subspecialties are Radiology and Interventional Radiology, and his practice brings together diagnostic imaging and image-guided procedures. He has more than 17 years in medicine and works with adult patients referred for imaging assessment and for minimally invasive, image-guided treatment.

Dr. Agolli graduated from Marmara University Faculty of Medicine in 2009 and completed his radiology training at İstanbul University İstanbul Faculty of Medicine in 2015. From 2015 to 2024 he worked as a diagnostic and interventional radiologist at Medicana Bahçelievler Hospital, and he has been associated with Acıbadem Healthcare Services since 2016. Over this period his work has covered both the reading and reporting of imaging studies and the performance of interventional procedures under imaging guidance.

Clinical focus

Dr. Agolli’s areas of expertise include interventional radiology, tomography and ultrasonographic imaging. On the diagnostic side, this involves acquiring and interpreting cross-sectional and ultrasound studies and correlating the findings with the patient’s history and previous examinations, so that the referring team has a clear basis for further decisions. Imaging findings are reported in the context of the clinical question and, where relevant, compared with earlier scans. Related imaging pages on this site include Coronary CT Angiography and PET-CT Imaging.

On the interventional side, his expertise includes transarterial radioembolization (TARE), a catheter-based procedure performed under imaging guidance in which treatment is delivered through the arterial system. Whether a patient is a candidate for TARE or for any other interventional radiology procedure depends on the individual clinical situation, the findings on imaging and the assessment of the treating team, and this is discussed on a case-by-case basis rather than assumed in advance. Interventional radiology procedures of this kind are generally planned in coordination with the other specialists involved in the patient’s care.

How Dr. Agolli works with international patients

Dr. Agolli speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who need them. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, for example MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and organises 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 options. Video consultation is available for international patients, which can be used for an initial review of records and imaging before any decision about travel is made. Any recommendation regarding further imaging or an interventional procedure is made after the available information has been reviewed and is discussed with the patient and, where appropriate, the referring physician.
