Radiology

Departments

Department of radiology plays a second-line role for patient-care in our hospital. We use not only X-ray but also sonography as a tool for imaging diagnosis, so in some hospitals we are called department of medial imaging. Besides imaging diagnosis from routine X-ray exams, we have special contrast exams such as MRI, CT scans, mammography and sonography. We also provide varieties of interventional procedures for patients referred from first-line physician, including sono-guided biopsy/pigtail drainage and fluoroscopy-guided biliary drainage and nephrostomy. To improve our service, increase patient’s convenience, and protect our environment, we have set up full-scale picture and archiving communication system (PACS). We continuously refines our exams and procedure skills in order to provide harmonic and high-quality services to our patients.
