Patient Experience
My 14-year-old son, a champion swimmer, developed shoulder pain attributed to 'overuse.' Dr. Seker performed an MR arthrogram that revealed a rare glenoid hypoplasia. Her precise measurements showed it wasn't degenerative but congenital, allowing for sport-specific rehabilitation instead of unnecessary surgery.
During what was supposed to be a routine screening mammogram at 47, Dr. Seker noticed architectural distortion that five other radiologists had called 'probably benign' over two years. Her insistence on vacuum-assisted biopsy revealed DCIS, caught at the earliest possible stage thanks to her pattern recognition expertise.
As a 72-year-old retired cartographer with a rare form of mesenteric panniculitis, I'd been misdiagnosed for years until Dr. Seker reviewed my CT scan. While others saw 'unremarkable bowel,' she identified the subtle fat stranding pattern and connected it to my unexplained fevers. Her detailed report led to targeted treatment that finally ended my decade of abdominal pain.
My 8-year-old daughter, a competitive gymnast, fell during practice. The ER doctor suspected a simple wrist fracture, but Dr. Seker's ultrasound revealed a previously undiagnosed vascular malformation in her forearm that explained her frequent 'sprains.' Her discovery prevented what could have been a catastrophic injury during surgery.
During a routine airport security scan before my international flight, I mentioned chronic headaches to the technician. They referred me to Medical Park Bursa where Dr. Seker performed a cerebral perfusion scan. She detected reduced blood flow in a specific arterial territory that three previous MRIs had missed, catching my moyamoya disease before I suffered a major stroke at 41.
As a 28-year-old professional violinist, I developed mysterious numbness in my bowing hand. Dr. Seker didn't just order a standard nerve conduction study; she designed a dynamic MRI protocol where I 'played' violin in the scanner. She pinpointed compression at the quadrilateral space that only occurred in playing position, saving my career with targeted physiotherapy.
My 55-year-old husband, a deep-sea diver, developed confusing neurological symptoms after a dive. Multiple specialists were stumped until Dr. Seker reviewed his brain MRI with diffusion-weighted imaging. She identified the specific pattern of cerebral arterial gas embolism that others had overlooked, connecting it precisely to his ascent rate from three weeks prior.
At 19, I was preparing for gender-affirming surgery when Dr. Seker noticed an anomaly in my pre-op pelvic MRI, a previously undetected Müllerian remnant that would have complicated the procedure. Her meticulous mapping allowed the surgical team to adjust their approach, ensuring a successful outcome I'd dreamed of since childhood.
Our newborn failed her hearing screening, but Dr. Seker went beyond standard temporal bone CT. Using specialized pediatric protocols, she identified not just the expected cochlear anomaly but a concurrent internal carotid artery anomaly that would have made cochlear implantation dangerous. Her dual discovery changed our entire treatment path.
As a 63-year-old archaeologist recently returned from Egypt, I developed a persistent cough. Dr. Seker's chest CT revealed not pneumonia but a pattern of miliary nodules. She recognized it as non-tuberculous mycobacterium likely contracted from tomb dust, a diagnosis confirmed by bronchoscopy, ending six months of ineffective antibiotics.
As a 33-year-old pregnant woman with a known uterine fibroid, I was told I'd need a C-section. Dr. Seker performed a specialized obstetric MRI that precisely mapped the fibroid's blood supply relative to the placenta. Her 3D reconstruction showed vaginal delivery was actually safer, allowing me the birth experience I wanted.
My 81-year-old mother, a Holocaust survivor with dementia, couldn't communicate her pain. Dr. Seker suggested a whole-body bone scan when others dismissed her agitation as 'sundowning.' She identified multiple rib fractures from a recent fall no one witnessed, allowing proper pain management and restoring my mother's peace.
As a 25-year-old professional gamer, I developed vision problems during tournaments. Neurologists found nothing until Dr. Seker performed fMRI while I played my competitive game in the scanner. She identified abnormal blood flow patterns during specific visual stimuli, leading to a diagnosis of visual snow syndrome exacerbated by screen time.
Our 6-year-old's 'stomach aches' were dismissed as anxiety until Dr. Seker performed a contrast-enhanced ultrasound (avoiding radiation). She discovered midgut volvulus with chronic ischemia, a ticking time bomb. Her emergency call to the surgeon saved our daughter's small intestine from irreversible damage.
I'm a 52-year-old beekeeper who developed neurological symptoms after multiple stings. Dr. Seker ordered a spinal MRI with specific sequences for demyelination. She identified a unique pattern of nerve root enhancement consistent with venom-induced radiculitis, a diagnosis that explained my symptoms when autoimmune panels were negative.
