Department of Radiology

The main objectives of the Department of Radiology at Dicle University are to provide accurate diagnosis and guide treatment to patients through the most appropriate and up-to-date imaging methods. Additionally, we aim to teach the art of medical imaging to new generations within the framework of assistant training and basic medical education. Moreover, our fundamental duty is to conduct scientific research to develop new and improved diagnostic tools in the field of radiology and treatment methods guided by imaging. We offer advanced technology and high-quality healthcare services in all sub-disciplines of radiology at our clinic.

The Department of Radiology is located in Building A of the Faculty of Medicine and Research Hospital on the Dicle University campus. Our department consists of two divisions: Radiology 1 and Radiology 2.

Facilities:

Radiology 1:

3 Tesla and 1.5 Tesla MR (Magnetic Resonance) machines
16-detector Multislice CT (Computed Tomography) scanner
Digital X-ray
Ultrasonography
Mammography devices

Radiology 2:

64-detector Computed Tomography (CT) scanner
1 Tesla magnetic resonance unit
Fluoroscopy units
Radiology Reporting Rooms

In our department, we have a PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) system, which allows all patient images to be archived. Even if films are lost, patient images can still be accessed. These images are also used for comparing old and new medical examinations and for medical research.

Additionally, we provide a WEB service that allows access to the PACS system over the internet (pacs.dicle.edu.tr).

In our reporting rooms, we have a Dictation (speech recognition) system that enables direct computer-based writing of the interpreted reports, eliminating the need for report secretaries.

Diagnostic procedures performed in our department annually:

X-ray: 60,000 cases
Mammography: 1,000 cases
Ultrasonography: 13,000 cases
Computed tomography (CT): 19,500 cases
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): 7,500 cases

Radiology deals with a wide spectrum of pathologies, including:

General Radiology
Neuroradiology
Abdominal Radiology
Thoracic Radiology
Musculoskeletal Radiology
Cardiovascular System Radiology
Pediatric Radiology
Interventional Radiology (Vascular Interventional and Non-vascular Interventional Radiology)

Medical faculty students receive theory-focused courses in their 3rd term. In the 4th term, during the radiology internship, necessary theoretical and practical training on approaching patients radiologically is provided.

Postgraduate radiology education lasts for 4 years. The department aims to train expert radiologists with a broad knowledge and infrastructure in all areas of radiology and extensive experience in all imaging modalities. Our research assistants undergo rotations focused on specific devices, such as ultrasonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance, as well as rotations in all subfields of radiology (thoracic, abdominal, musculoskeletal radiology, neuroradiology) to receive training. Our assistants have the opportunity to gain extensive knowledge and experience in the field of imaging and work with cutting-edge technology devices.

The duration of the research assistant training is 4 years.

Compulsory Rotations:

3 months in Internal Medicine
3 months in Nuclear Medicine
3 months in Radiation Oncology

Research Assistant Training Program:

2 hours of seminars per week
Case and article hours
Daily patient evaluations

Our research assistants are encouraged to engage in scientific studies. Their active participation in national and international scientific events, as well as their efforts in preparing seminars and articles, are supported.
