Dr. Borbély Ruben Zsolt
Radiologist and Ultrasound Specialist
Introduction
Hello, I’m Dr Ruben Zsolt Borbély, a board-certified radiologist with the European Diploma in Radiology (EDiR), specializing in abdominal imaging. At my private practice in Budapest, I provide fast, thorough, and compassionate ultrasound diagnostics without long waiting lists or the need for a referral, with same-day appointments available when possible.
I believe that the first step toward effective treatment and peace of mind is an accurate, timely, and clearly explained diagnosis. My extensive clinical experience at leading institutions, including Bajcsy-Zsilinszky Hospital and the Hungarian Defence Forces Medical Centre, has taught me how to identify a wide range of complex conditions with precision.
In my private practice, I combine the rigorous standards of hospital-based diagnostic work with a calm, patient-centered environment. I take sufficient time for every examination and explain the findings in clear, easy-to-understand language. My goal is for every patient to leave the clinic feeling fully informed, reassured, and without unanswered questions.
My European qualification and internationally recognized scientific research reflect my commitment to providing up-to-date ultrasound diagnostics at a high international standard.
You are welcome to contact me with confidence.
Specializations
At my practice, I use modern, high-quality ultrasound equipment. You can book an appointment for the following examinations:
- Abdominal and pelvic ultrasound: A detailed, painless examination of the liver, gallbladder, kidneys, spleen, pancreas, and pelvic organs. Because my academic research focuses on diseases of the pancreas, I have extensive, up-to-date experience in evaluating abdominal symptoms such as pain, bloating, and digestive problems.
- Carotid Doppler ultrasound: Evaluation of the carotid arteries that supply blood to the brain. This examination can help assess the risk of stroke and is particularly recommended in cases of dizziness, persistent headaches, tinnitus, high blood pressure, or suspected narrowing of the arteries.
- Thyroid and neck soft-tissue ultrasound: Detailed evaluation of thyroid nodules, suspected thyroid disorders, enlarged lymph nodes, and the salivary glands.
- CT / MRI consultation and second opinion: Specialist guidance and assistance with the second-opinion review and clear interpretation of complex CT or MRI reports and imaging performed elsewhere.
- Ultrasound examination for hernias
- Soft-tissue ultrasound by body region
- Kidney ultrasound
- Lower-extremity Doppler ultrasound and vascular examinations
