Nevzat Demirhan, MD

Nevzat Demirhan, MD is a radiologist at Acibadem Bursa Hospital in Bursa, where he works in the Radiology unit with a subspecialty focus on Interventional Radiology. His practice combines diagnostic imaging across several modalities with image-guided interventional procedures, and he has a particular interest in breast imaging. He has more than 38 years in medicine.

Dr. Demirhan studied at İstanbul University Faculty of Medicine from 1988 to 1994 and completed his specialty training in Radiology at Uludağ University Faculty of Medicine in 1999. He then worked as a Radiology Specialist at Doruk Medical Center from 1999 to 2006. In 2005 he joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services, and he currently practices at the Bursa hospital.

Clinical focus

Dr. Demirhan’s areas of expertise include the imaging assessment of breast diseases, with mammography and ultrasonographic imaging as core methods and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) used where appropriate. He works with computed tomography (CT) in a range of settings, including multidetector CT colonography, also referred to as virtual colonoscopy, which is a CT-based method of examining the large bowel. His interests also extend to virtual angiography, a non-invasive, CT-based approach to imaging blood vessels.

In the field of interventional radiology, Dr. Demirhan uses imaging to guide minimally invasive procedures. The choice of imaging method or intervention depends on the individual clinical question, the findings on prior examinations and a discussion with the referring physician. Not every technique is suitable for every patient, and Dr. Demirhan reviews each case individually before recommending a particular examination or procedure.

How Dr. Demirhan works with international patients

Dr. Demirhan 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 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 or interventional options that may be appropriate. Video consultations are available for international patients who wish to discuss their case or review existing imaging with Dr. Demirhan before deciding whether to travel; this is a preliminary discussion and does not replace an in-person examination or imaging study where one is needed.
