Within the framework of a cooperative agreement with Siemens Medical Solutions, the Acıbadem Hospital Kozyatagı, by making use of the 3 Tesla intraoperative MRI equipment for the first time in the world,is putting its signature on an occasion which will be the beginning of a new era in the medical world. The Acıbadem Hospital Kozyatagı will be a reference point for the world on the topic of intra-operative MRIs, as it provides know-how to the medical world with the results that will be obtained from its 3 Tesla Intraoperative scanners.

The 3 Tesla MRI scanner, which will be used for the first time in Turkey for a complete body view, receives more signals from tissue through the creation of more magnetic area power compared to the previously used 1.5 Tesla MRI equipment. Consequently, more reliable data can be obtained before or during surgery. Especially in brain surgeries, since the viewing period is considerably shortened, with this vital scanning technology, the surgeon can make a completely sterile examination at any required point without waking up the patient or closing the surgical area. This gives the surgeon an idea about the size and direction of the tumor in sections that are difficult to reach.

Within the framework of the agreement, the Siemens Magnetom Trio equipment will be directly installed in the operating room and during surgery, the patient will be kept under full surveillance with the use of assisting equipment and sensitive special carrying systems for an immediate scanning view. Implemented for the first time in the world, this comprehensive system will be a reference point for the improvement of MRI scanning techniques and clinical studies, and will be constantly supported by Siemens Germany.

In addition to the signing of this agreement with Siemens, the Acıbadem Healthcare Group is also entering into collaboration with Massachusetts General Hospital . This hospital develops special software programs for advanced MRI techniques. Through sharing these software programs, especially the ones used for viewing the brain viewing, with the Acıbadem Healthcare Group, a goal has been set for wider use of this medical software application and improvement in research on brain scanning in the worldwide field of medical literature.

(Oncology and Neurological Sciences Hospital ) along with all medical departments, Oncology and Neurology services will be provided on an institute level. Covering 12,000 m2 of closed space and 12 floors, the hospital has a capacity of 70 beds. At the hospital, while new interventions and research is carried out in many medical fields, and every type of cancer surgery is performed by our specialized staff, the most advanced technology will be implemented for bone marrow transplants, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, along with other modern treatments. Healthcare services for cancer diagnosis and treatment, especially in gastroenterology, will be provided together with services in other basic medical fields.
