Prof. M.D. Ufuk Kemal Gülsoy

I was rushed to Acibadem Taksim after a climbing accident in the Kaçkar Mountains with suspected spinal trauma. Dr. Gülsoy wasn't even on duty, but they called him in. What struck me was how he examined the raw X-rays first, then personally adjusted the MRI protocols for my specific injury pattern before the scan. He didn't just read the images; he explained the biomechanics of how my L1 vertebra fractured, using a spine model. His detailed report guided the neurosurgeon perfectly. He has the mind of an engineer and the heart of a healer.

Our 4-year-old, Deniz, needed an abdominal MRI for a persistent, mysterious pain. We were terrified of sedation. Dr. Gülsoy transformed the whole experience. He met Deniz first in a playroom, not the scanning room. He showed her a stuffed animal 'getting an MRI' on a toy scanner. He let her choose the 'space adventure' theme for the machine sounds. During the scan, he narrated a story through the microphone about her teddy bear exploring a cave. We got a flawless diagnostic image without a single tear. This wasn't just radiology; it was pediatric magic.

As a 78-year-old with a complex cardiac history and a new, worrying shadow on a routine chest X-ray elsewhere, I was referred for a PET-CT. Dr. Gülsoy spent 45 minutes reviewing my old films from three different hospitals, creating a timeline on his monitor. He identified a chronic, stable granuloma from 15 years ago that the new finding was adjacent to. Instead of immediate alarm, he designed a low-dose, targeted follow-up protocol. His approach wasn't about finding disease; it was about finding *my* specific story in the images. He saved me from an unnecessary, invasive biopsy.

I am a breast cancer survivor in my fifth year of remission. My annual follow-up MRI at Acibadem Taksim is always anxiety-ridden. This year, Dr. Gülsoy used a new, ultra-high-resolution contrast protocol he'd been researching. He found a minuscule, indeterminate focus. Instead of a generic 'short-term follow-up' note, he invited me and my oncologist to his workstation. He showed us the 2mm spot from every angle, comparing it pixel-by-pixel to prior years using AI co-registration software. He concluded it was a benign post-treatment change. He didn't just give a result; he gave me a masterclass in my own anatomy and profound peace of mind.
