Overview:
Prof. Dr. Mutlu Sağlam is a highly distinguished radiologist with over three decades of experience, combining academic excellence, broad clinical exposure, and research productivity. Having graduated with distinction from Gülhane Askeri Tıp Fakültesi in 1989, he advanced through the ranks to become full Professor in Radiology by 2010.
His expertise spans multiple radiology sub‑specialties including abdominal radiology, vascular radiology, thoracic radiology, breast imaging, musculoskeletal imaging, neuro‑radiology, and interventional radiology.
He also completed a prestigious clinical fellowship at Wake Forest University in the USA, specializing in abdominal radiology — reflecting his commitment to integrating global best practices in his work.
His reputation is further validated by numerous national and international awards (53 till date) and strong research metrics (thousands of citations, high H-index, indexed in international scientific ranking platforms).
Conditions Treated:
- Abdominal conditions (liver, pancreas, gastrointestinal tract imaging)
- Thoracic / lung / chest imaging (pulmonary / vascular)
- Breast diseases / breast imaging and biopsy procedures including breast MRI & mammography.
- Genitourinary imaging (kidney, prostate, pelvic organs) and related diagnostics & interventional procedures.
- Vascular and musculoskeletal imaging (vascular Doppler USG, skeletal radiology, etc.)
- Obstetric/fetal imaging (4D obstetric ultrasound and anomaly screening) when required.
Procedures Performed:
- Abdominal ultrasound (USG), CT, dynamic (triphasic) CT, MRI, MRCP, elastography imaging of liver/pancreas.
- Thoracic CT / vascular imaging, pulmonary vascular CT angiography, chest imaging.
- Breast imaging: diagnostic mammography, dynamic breast MRI; tru‑cut biopsies for suspicious masses.
- Thyroid imaging: Doppler USG, fine‑needle aspiration / biopsy, cyst aspiration.
- Prostate diagnostics: multiparametric‑fusion MRI, MR‑TRUS guided biopsy.
- Vascular studies: arterial / venous Doppler USG, vascular USG and Doppler imaging.
- Neurological / neuro‑radiology imaging, pediatric cranial USG (e.g. transfontanel USG), orbital imaging.
- Interventional radiology procedures (where indicated, such as biopsies, minimally invasive imaging‑guided interventions).

He performs diagnostic imaging and also guided procedures such as ultrasound‑guided biopsies (e.g. breast tru‑cut biopsy, thyroid biopsy), MR‑TRUS guided prostate biopsy, cyst aspirations, etc., depending on the clinical requirement.
Yes — with his extensive experience, international fellowship exposure, and affiliation with a private hospital in Istanbul, he is well-positioned to serve international patients needing advanced radiology (CT, MRI, USG, biopsies).
He can help diagnose a wide variety — neurological (brain infarcts), pulmonary / thoracic vascular conditions, hepatobiliary diseases, breast & thyroid lesions, genitourinary disorders, vascular disorders, fetal / obstetric anomalies, and more.
His dual background — academic (professor), clinical practice (many years), international fellowship, multi‑organ radiology expertise — plus capability to perform not just imaging but also image‑guided procedures, makes him particularly suited for complex diagnostic cases often seen in medical tourism.
