Clinical focus

Dr. Uyar’s areas of expertise cover several imaging modalities that are used to evaluate a wide range of conditions. In breast imaging, she works with mammography and ultrasonographic imaging, which are commonly used to examine breast tissue, to follow up findings and to support the diagnosis of breast diseases. Magnetic resonance imaging may be used when additional detail of soft tissue is required, and the choice of method depends on the clinical question, the patient’s history and any previous examinations.

Her expertise also includes tomography and virtual angiography, a non-invasive approach to visualizing blood vessels based on cross-sectional imaging. In radiology, the interpretation of images is combined with the referring physician’s findings and the patient’s symptoms, and results are reported so that the treating team can decide on further steps. The radiologist’s role typically includes choosing a suitable imaging protocol, interpreting the images and providing a written report; decisions about treatment remain with the referring physician.

How Dr. Uyar works with international patients

Dr. Uyar consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as earlier mammography, ultrasound, MRI or CT reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the visit to the outpatient clinic. 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 imaging options. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their imaging findings or questions before or after a visit.
