Clinical focus

One of Dr. Ayan’s areas of interest is the imaging of breast diseases. In this field, radiology contributes to the evaluation of breast findings by providing images and reports that other physicians use when planning further assessment or care. The choice of imaging method depends on the individual patient’s situation and on the clinical question being asked, and imaging findings are considered together with the patient’s history, examination and other test results.

Dr. Ayan also has a professional interest in multidetector CT colonography, which is also referred to as virtual colonoscopy. This is a CT-based imaging examination of the large bowel in which the acquired images are reviewed by the radiologist and described in a written report. Whether this examination is appropriate for a particular patient is a decision made in consultation with the referring physician, taking into account the individual clinical circumstances. As with all radiology examinations, the results are intended to inform, rather than replace, the clinical judgment of the treating team.

How Dr. Ayan works with international patients

Dr. Ayan speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged when needed. 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 where relevant, and a discussion of the options. Video consultation is available for international patients, which may be useful for an initial discussion of existing imaging or for reviewing questions before travelling. Any recommendation on further imaging or examination is made on an individual basis after the available information has been reviewed.
