About

I graduated from Karadeniz Technical University Faculty of Medicine in 2016 and completed my radiology residency at Selçuk University Faculty of Medicine in 2022; I have worked as a radiologist since. Over more than ten years in public healthcare I have reported CT, MRI, ultrasound and conventional radiography examinations.

I see the radiology report not only as a diagnostic document but as a communication tool for clinicians and patients, so I value plain, structured and readable reporting.

Teaching

Guest Lecturer
Current
Mudanya University · Medical Imaging Techniques (Associate degree)

I teach the Computed Tomography course, linking technical topics to the daily practice of radiographers in the scanner room.

  1. History and generations of CT
  2. Tube, detectors and gantry
  3. Image formation and reconstruction
  4. Hounsfield scale and windowing
  5. Dose parameters: kV, mAs, pitch
  6. Contrast media and injection
  7. Regional scan protocols
  8. Artefacts and how to avoid them

Teaching note

CT windowing: one slice, different windows

Every pixel in a CT image carries a Hounsfield value, but a display can show only a limited number of grey levels. Window level (WL) sets the centre of the grey scale and window width (WW) the range it covers. Try the presets on this schematic chest slice, or set your own window with the sliders.

Move the pointer over the slice

Displayed range: −160 … +240 HU. Below is black, above is white.

Schematic model; not a patient image.
