Murat Dokdok

Murat Dokdok is a radiologist at Anadolu Medical Center. He completed a Fellowship in Interventional Neuroradiology at the University Hospital of Zurich. Dr. Dokdok also held a short-term fellowship at Harvard Medical School. Additionally, he served as a post-doctoral associate at the University of Minnesota.

Specialization and Advanced Imaging

The physician treats patients using neuroradiology and interventional radiology. He uses imaging techniques to treat neurological and vascular conditions. These methods allow for precise intervention in delicate structures. Dr. Dokdok performs several minimally invasive procedures:

• Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the liver
• HIFU (High intensity focused ultrasound ablation) — a non-invasive treatment that uses ultrasound waves to destroy diseased tissue
• Chemoembolization and radioembolization for liver cancer
• Treatment of cerebral artery aneurysms
• Treatment of arteriovenous malformations

He performs diagnostics including brain MRI and diffusion tensor imaging — a technique that maps white matter tracts in the brain. This high-field imaging helps map brain function before therapeutic interventions. The doctor also treats uterine fibroids and liver metastases using interventional techniques.
