- We use world-class advanced computed tomography (CT) scanners featuring the convergence of extremely high spatial resolution, extensive coverage, temporal resolution and spectral analysis. This has made microdose and high-resolution CT scans a part of our general imaging practices.
- The first in Taiwan to introduce an integrated magnetic resonance (MR)-positron emission tomography (PET) scanner, NTUH boasts the most experience in MR-PET imaging. The system allows for a comprehensive diagnosis based concurrently on data from precise positioning, functional multi-parameter magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and molecular testing.
- We adopt highly precise imaging-guided techniques for the positioning, biopsy, and ablation of tumors, and for minimally invasive procedures such as tumor embolization, Y-90 radioembolization, aneurysm coil embolization, intra-arterial thrombectomy for stroke patients, and adrenal vein sampling.
Medical care and services
In 1911, the Department of Physical Therapy (predecessor to the Department of X-ray) was established, and installed the first X-ray scanner in Taiwan. The department derived its name from the close connection between radiology and physics, and was renamed the Department of Radiology in 1937. In 1990, it was divided into 3 divisions: the Division of Diagnostic Radiology, the Division of Nuclear Medicine, and the Division of Therapeutic Radiology. To meet the needs of the times, the Division of Diagnostic Radiology was renamed the Department of Medical Imaging in 1993, with the Division of Nuclear Medicine and the Division of Therapeutic Radiology each later upgraded to a stand-alone department.
Our services include general imaging tests (X-ray), special examinations (CT, MRI, and MR-PET), and interventional radiology treatment. Over the years, we have cultivated numerous excellent radiologists, who have been serving in hospitals and clinics throughout the country.
