Department Introduction

The Department of Medical Imaging and Interventions provides the clinical service in hospital at Linkou, Taipei and Taoyuan, and that in Linkou is devided into four divisions (general, gastro-intestinal, neuroradiology and emergency radiology). Our services are customer-oriented and based on the patient-centered policy. The Department is equipped with 20 conventional radiographic units, 24 portable X-ray units, 7 fluoroscopic units, 9 computed tomography (CT) machines, 5 ultrasonographic scanners, 5 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners, 1 car-mobile X-ray unit, 3 bone marrow densitometer systems and 2 digital mammographic units. Since April 1, 2004, the conventional hardcopy was entirely replaced by the Picture Archiving and Communicating System (PACS). This system improves the hospital management, clinical service, medical education and research by eliminating the spatial and temporal limitations. It also solves the problems of redundant films and environmental protection.
