Accepting international patientsAbout Assoc. Prof. İlker Özgür Koska, MD
Assoc. Prof. İlker Özgür Koska, MD is a radiologist at Acibadem Kent Hospital (Izmir) in İzmir, where he works in the Radiology unit. His practice covers diagnostic imaging with ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and mammography, together with pediatric radiology and neuroradiology. He has more than 24 years in medicine and joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services in 2025.
Dr. Koska graduated from Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine in 2002 and completed his radiology training at Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine in 2007. Between 2015 and 2017 he obtained a neuroradiology subspecialty certificate from the Turkish Neuroradiology Association, and in 2018 he completed pediatric radiology training at Ege University Faculty of Medicine. From 2017 to 2024 he pursued a Ph.D. at the Faculty of Engineering, Department of Biomedical Technologies, Dokuz Eylül University in İzmir. In his professional career he served as Head of the Pediatric Radiology Department at Afyon SBÜ from 2019 to 2020, and in 2024 he held the position of Associate Professor of Radiology at SBIJ İzmir Faculty of Medicine, Behçet Uz EAH Department of Radiology.
Clinical focus
Dr. Koska’s clinical work centers on diagnostic imaging. He reports examinations performed with ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, and he interprets mammography studies. His subspecialty training supports two further areas of practice: pediatric radiology, which concerns imaging in children, and neuroradiology, which concerns imaging of the brain, spine and related structures.
Alongside clinical practice, Dr. Koska has co-authored peer-reviewed publications in radiology. These include studies on deep learning classification of ischemic stroke territory on diffusion-weighted MRI, radiomics in the differential diagnosis of Wilms tumor and neuroblastoma with adrenal location in children, deep learning classification of MGMT status of glioblastomas using multiparametric MRI, and a comparison of percutaneous metallic stents in malignant biliary obstruction. His research interests reflect his combined background in radiology and biomedical technologies.
How Dr. Koska works with international patients
Dr. Koska speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who prefer another language. 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 where relevant, and a discussion of the imaging options that may be appropriate. Video consultation is available for international patients, which may be used for an initial discussion or a review of existing imaging, with any further examinations planned according to the individual situation.
