title: [Opinion: Using Turkish in scientific literature].
abstract: Foreign vocabulary has long been used widely in the community life, education, as well as scientific activities including national meetings and publications in Turkey. Intrusion of English into Turkish medical and radiological literature has been increasingly more prevalent in the recent decades. This challenge has to be dealt with on every platform and with a national concensus. Radiology societies and radiology journals must play a pivotal role in the elimination of foreign terms from the national radiology literature and their replacement with Turkish nomenclature.
