Currently the Department of Medical Imaging has six MRI machines, three of them are 1.5T, and three are 3T which is included one MR-PET; seven CT scanners of which one is 640-slice DECT, one is 256-slice MDCT, two are 128-slice MDCT, two are 64-slice MDCT, and one 16-slice CT; an angiographic suite housing 3 machines, all are digital biplane models; 3 fluoroscopic machines including 1 pediatric fluoroscopic machine; Three mammogaphic machines; 3 machines for none marrow density; 16 X-ray machines and 9 portable x-ray machines scattered in the wards and ICUs for bed-side examinations. 

Our MRI facilities provide clinical services for around 4000 patients per month. We also provide service for research, including functional MRI of brain, tractography, perfusion study of breast cancer and spinal cord, MDDW (Multidirectional Diffusion Weighting), ASL (Arterial Spin Labeling), SWI (susceptibility-Weighted Imaging) and MRS of different sections. Our department introduced the first integrated MR-PET system in Taiwan in 2014. It provides hybrid imaging by combing state-of-art structure imaging from 3T and functional molecular imaging from PET at one examine.

Our fleet of 7 CT scanners serves the hospital's routine and emergency scanning as well as in CT guided therapeutic procedures, e.g. biopsies, drainage, etc.  In addition to the traditional sectional images, we also provide post-processed images of the body like 3D CT angiography, volume-rendering of extremities, CT virtual colonoscopy, etc. The seven CT scanners totally serve about 8800 patients per month.  There are many researches using these CT, such as virtual colonoscopy, 3D CTA of coronary artery and calcium score calculation, 3D reconstruction of heart in pediatric congenital heart disease, and CTA and perfusion CT in brain vascular disease. The new 640-slice multidetector CT, on service since March 2016, allows obtaining high quality imaging for CT coronary angiography within a single heartbeat.

Our angiographic suite encompasses works in diagnostic and therapeutic angiographies of the neural and body groups.  Basically we provide angiographic service to various body parts, e.g. in cerebral vascular accidents or in gastrointestinal bleeding. As CT & MRI have taken up most of the preliminary diagnostic work, most of the angiographic examinations have been more or less converting to therapeutic purposes, for example, angiographies for hepatic cancer & cerebral aneurysms as road maps for transcatheter embolization therapy or in aortic aneurysms for subsequent stent-graft deployment. We serve about 650 patients per month, and of these 60% are therapeutic works. We also renewed one of angiography equipments in November, 2011, which is capable of CT angiography and imaging-guided procedure. It provides more accurate intravascular diagnosis and treatment.

We also cooperate with the Medical Information System Office to support a PACS system. In this system our radiologists scrutinize the images and generate respective reports.   The system incorporates all the images with the reports and deliver them to wherever required, e.g. medical filing, OPDs, clinical wards, ICUs, etc. In each viewing station, medical personnel can easily review every radiological examination (with the reports) a patient has undertaken.  An attending radiologist can monitor several examinations in different locations (e.g. CT & MRI) which have been on-going under a resident's duty.  Furthermore, radiologists can use this system to alert the ordering clinical doctors (without having to dial the telephone) once an emergency situation has been detected in certain examination, for example, an un-suspected pneumoperitoneum in a chest x-ray. Radiologist can also consult other fellow radiologist or clinician for a second opinion, through this system, concerning certain examination.
