Gülin Muradiye Öztürk, MD

Gülin Muradiye Öztürk, MD is a radiologist practicing in the Radiology unit at Acibadem Göktürk Outpatient Clinic in İstanbul. Her clinical work is centered on diagnostic imaging, with particular attention to ultrasound imaging, mammography and Doppler ultrasound. With more than 41 years in medicine, she brings long-standing experience in the performance and interpretation of imaging examinations for patients referred for diagnostic assessment.

Dr. Öztürk graduated from İstanbul University İstanbul Faculty of Medicine in 1985. She then completed her specialty training in radiology at Şişli Etfal Training and Research Hospital in 1996. She has been working with Acıbadem Healthcare Services since 2022, where she continues her practice in diagnostic radiology, providing imaging examinations and radiological reports that support the clinical decision-making of referring physicians.

Clinical focus

Dr. Öztürk’s areas of expertise include ultrasound imaging, mammography and Doppler ultrasound. Ultrasound imaging uses sound waves to visualize organs and soft tissues without ionizing radiation and is commonly used as a first-line examination for a wide range of clinical questions. Mammography is an X-ray-based examination of the breast that is used both in screening and in the assessment of breast symptoms or findings identified on clinical examination. Doppler ultrasound extends conventional ultrasound by evaluating blood flow in vessels and tissues, which can assist in the assessment of vascular and organ-related conditions.

In her daily practice, Dr. Öztürk performs these examinations, interprets the images and prepares written reports for the treating physician. Findings are described in a cautious clinical manner, and where an examination raises questions that cannot be resolved by imaging alone, the report may recommend further investigation or clinical correlation. Imaging results are always considered alongside the patient’s history, symptoms and other test results, and decisions on treatment remain with the referring clinician.

How Dr. Öztürk works with international patients

Dr. Öztürk consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. The Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, for example earlier ultrasound, mammography, MRI or CT reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the visit to the 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 options, including whether further imaging is advisable. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their existing imaging or the suitability of a radiological examination before traveling. Where an examination such as ultrasound, Doppler ultrasound or mammography is planned, the sequence of steps and the expected timing of the written report are explained so that the patient knows what to expect throughout the diagnostic process.
