Our Department of Nuclear Medicine began its services in 1991 with a team of three: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Erol ERGÜLER, Research Assistant Dr. Yusuf Zeki ÇELEN, and Health Physicist Selma CİLBAN. Dr. Yusuf Zeki ÇELEN, who started working at our clinic as a Research Assistant, served as the Head of our Department for approximately 25 years, starting in 1995. Our clinic, which initially began its services with one SPECT device and a RIA (Radioimmunoassay) laboratory, gained significant momentum and began to grow, especially after 2002. As one of the three clinics in our country to have the first PET/CT device within a university, our department was also among the pioneers in Turkey in the field of Radionuclide Therapies, which are becoming increasingly widespread today. Today, with its infrastructure, equipment, and number of personnel, it has become the most comprehensive clinic in our region, meeting the needs not only of Gaziantep but also of many surrounding provinces. In addition to patient services, our clinic also conducts education and research services, and as of 2023, 16 specialist doctors have graduated and are now working in various regions of our country.
