Patient Experience
As a 28-year-old professional violinist, I began experiencing unexplained numbness in my left hand. Multiple doctors suspected carpal tunnel, but Dr. Selçuk's advanced nerve conduction MRI revealed a rare schwannoma compressing the ulnar nerve in my elbow—a diagnosis everyone else missed. His precise imaging allowed for targeted microsurgery, and I'm now back to performing concertos without limitation.
Our 7-year-old daughter, Elif, suffered from debilitating chronic headaches for two years. After countless inconclusive tests, Dr. Selçuk performed a specialized pediatric MR venography that identified cerebral venous sinus stenosis. His gentle approach with a frightened child and his detailed explanation to us, the parents, gave us hope. The intervention guided by his imaging resolved her headaches completely.
I'm a 72-year-old retired engineer with a complex cardiac history. Before my aortic valve replacement, Dr. Selçuk conducted a pre-procedural CT angiography with such meticulous 3D reconstruction that my surgical team discovered an anomalous coronary artery course invisible on standard scans. His foresight literally reshaped the surgical plan and is why I'm alive and gardening today.
During a routine check-up for my osteoporosis at 65, a standard X-ray showed a vague shadow on my rib. Dr. Selçuk insisted on a low-dose spectral CT. His analysis differentiated it as a benign bone island, not metastasis. He saved me from the terror and unnecessary invasive biopsies that another radiologist had recommended.
