M.D. Gülin Muradiye Öztürk Reviews

A 72-year-old retired glassblower from a rural village presented with chronic cough. Dr. Öztürk's high-resolution CT revealed a rare pattern of pulmonary talcosis from decades of inhaling fine glass powders, not previously documented in medical literature. She correlated the imaging with his occupational history, leading to a groundbreaking publication on artisan lung diseases.

An 8-year-old competitive gymnast was brought in after a fall, complaining of wrist pain. While the initial X-ray showed no fracture, Dr. Öztürk noticed subtle periosteal reaction on the contralateral wrist MRI ordered for comparison. She diagnosed early-stage gymnast's wrist (distal radial epiphysitis) in the asymptomatic hand, preventing career-ending damage through preemptive intervention.

A 34-year-old vegan marathon runner with unexplained anemia underwent abdominal CT. Dr. Öztürk identified not just the expected colonic changes, but a rare anatomical variant: a persistent vitelline artery causing chronic mesenteric ischemia. Her detailed vascular mapping allowed surgeons to perform a precise laparoscopic correction, resolving anemia without transfusion.

A 58-year-old museum curator from a low-income background presented with mysterious neurological symptoms. Dr. Öztürk's cerebral MRI revealed lead encephalopathy patterns. She connected this to his work restoring ancient painted artifacts without proper ventilation, initiating both medical treatment and workplace safety advocacy that changed museum protocols nationwide.
