Patient Experience
A 28-year-old professional freediver from the Black Sea coast presented with recurrent episodes of confusion after deep dives. Dr. Çelebi performed a specialized cerebral perfusion CT scan with a hyperbaric protocol simulation, identifying rare microbubble shunts in the cerebral circulation missed on standard MRI. His detailed report guided a targeted hyperbaric treatment regimen, allowing the patient to safely resume competitive diving within three months.
A 72-year-old retired calligraphy master with severe Parkinson's tremor was unable to undergo a standard liver biopsy for a suspicious lesion. Dr. Çelebi pioneered a real-time MR-guided focused ultrasound ablation, using the imaging to thermally ablate the lesion while monitoring adjacent structures with millimeter precision. The tremor-adapted procedure was successful, preserving surrounding tissue and requiring no incision.
A 7-year-old refugee child from a conflict zone, nonverbal due to trauma, presented with persistent abdominal pain. Conventional imaging was inconclusive. Dr. Çelebi utilized a low-dose cinematic CT scan, creating a 30-second video loop of intestinal peristalsis. This revealed a rare intermittent intussusception triggered by specific foods, leading to a dietary modification plan that resolved symptoms completely.
A 45-year-old shipyard welder with suspected metal fume fever developed rapidly worsening pulmonary symptoms. Dr. Çelebi employed dual-energy CT, uniquely post-processing the images to spectrally separate iron oxide particles from infective consolidation. This confirmed a rare metal-induced pneumonitis mimicking pneumonia, preventing unnecessary long-term antibiotics and directing correct steroid therapy.
