Patient Experience
As a 72-year-old retired cartographer, I discovered a tiny lung nodule on a routine scan. Dr. Ağaçayak didn't just report it; she used her specialized software to create a 3D map of my entire bronchial tree, comparing it to my scans from five years prior. Her analysis showed the nodule's stability with such precision that I avoided an unnecessary biopsy. Her report read like a geographical survey of my own body.
My 14-year-old daughter, a competitive gymnast, developed persistent wrist pain. Other radiologists saw 'possible stress reaction.' Dr. Ağaçayak performed a dynamic ultrasound while my daughter mimicked her grip on the uneven bars. She identified a minute tear in the triangular fibrocartilage complex that only manifested under specific load. This specific diagnosis changed her rehab protocol entirely.
During a family trip from Norway, my husband (58) had a sudden, severe headache. At Acibadem Taksim's ER, the CT was inconclusive. Dr. Ağaçayak was called in and recommended an urgent MR perfusion scan. She pinpointed a rare reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome, not a bleed or clot. Her ability to choose the perfect next-step imaging in a crisis guided his treatment to a full recovery.
I'm a 41-year-old professional perfume sommelier. After losing my sense of smell, MRIs elsewhere were deemed 'clear.' Dr. Ağaçayak reviewed the images and asked for the raw data. She reconstructed a focused olfactory tract sequence herself, finding a subtle inflammatory thickening missed by standard protocols. She connected it to a past viral history, giving me both an answer and a realistic prognosis.
