3 assistants and 7 technologists who have worked in our faculty have given service with single-plane fluoroscopy and radiograph used with film bath. In 1979, another fluoroscopy machine has been bought and used for long duration. At the same years, Radiology Chair has become department. In conventional angiography unit managed by a team from cardiology, neurology and brain surgery angiographic studies have been performed.
In 1980 Doç. Dr. Ercan Tuncel who is assigned to Uludag University from Atatürk University has become Head of Radiology Department.
In 1984 Computed Tomography and Ultrasonography machines has been bought and utilized in health service. In 1992 Faculty of Medicine Hospital has moved to Görükle Campus.
In 1991 Digital Subtraction Angiography, a new computed tomography and Color Doppler Ultrasound devices has been set in new hospital and after that all angiography procedures has been made by Radiology staff.
In following years, our department has organized academic staff under organ systems, improved his understanding of service and become the first radiology department that puts in practice this method in our country.
In 1992 year 1.0 T Magnetic Resonance device, in 1997 helical CT, in 2000 1.5 T MR device and DEXA device, in 2004 new DSA device, in 2009 multidetector CT device and in 2011 3.0 T MR device has been added to our equipment and modern technological development has been utilized in many ways.
Uludag University Faculty of Medicine Radiology Department is one of the leader departments in radiology education. In 2013 our department has been the first radiology department evaluated and accredited by Turkey Radiology Association in radiology education. As an indicator of our success, our department has been chosen by many students who have highest ranks in National Medical Expertise Exam.

Research Subjects and Extent of Service
In our department, modern radiological equipments are benefited in hospital care. Four dual-detector fully digital X-ray machine two in outpatient clinics, one in inpatient clinic and one in emergency service; three digital fluoroscopy machine in operating rooms; one fully digital tiltable fluoroscopy machine that allows to contrast-enhanced urological and gastroenterological studies; a DEXA (Dual Energy X-Ray Absorbimetry) machine for measuring bone mineral density; a fully digital mammography machine; prone table stereotactic breast biopsy machine; two computed tomography machines one of which has 2x64 detectors, other has 16 detectors; a 3.0 T and a 1.5 T MR machine; two 360 rotating DSA device one of which is monoplane and one is biplane; 8 Color Doppler Ultrasonography device 5 of which is in ultrasound outpatient clinic, one in emergency service, one in inventional radiology unit, one in breast imaging unit; 3 computerized radiography and 5 portable X-ray machines are found in our department. With these equipment all necessary radiological studies could be made. In interventional radiology unit there is observation room with 6 beds to observe and monitor patients before and after procedures. Every types of neurologic or non-neurologic vascular and non-vascular interventional procedures could be made in our interventional radiology unit.
