The physicians  have expertise in various fields, such as pediatric emergency medicine, pediatric transport medicine, diagnosis and prevention of child abuse/neglect,  high-fidelity simulation training for pediatric emergencies , pediatric point-of-care ultrasound, and so on. In addition to their clinical work, they are also actively involved in teaching, research, and development in related fields within the country.

 

Division of Pediatric Nuclear Medicine

The Pediatric Nuclear Medicine Department provides various diagnostic imaging procedures using radioactive drugs. The principle is to use the distribution characteristics of radioactive drugs in the human body and the radioactivity of the drugs to perform imaging examinations.

 

The Pediatric Nuclear Medicine Department and the Nuclear Medicine Department of National Taiwan University Hospital include the Nuclear Medicine Department on the 2nd floor of the east campus main building and the Positron Center on B1 of the east campus main building.
