Department of Diagnostic Imaging

Medical services and specialties

This is the department that detects patients’ disease using images. Main tests are performed by simple X-ray, fluoroscopy, CT, MRI, angiography, etc., and all the latest equipment such as 3T MRI and 320 columns MDCT are available. Basically we examine for all organs and diseases that are indicated. For MRI we use MRS, MRA, and diffusion weighted images, etc. to help diagnose tumor and cerebrovascular lesions. In addition, for CT, we evaluate three-dimensional construction images of the head, chest, and abdominal blood vessels using 3D-CT and make full use of state-of-the-art image analysis technology. In angiography, we actively provide 24-hours-a-day intervention in addition to diagnosis.

In the disease of nerve, head and neck, chest, abdomen, mammary gland, cardiovascular, bone marrow, gynecological organs and pediatric-related, each specialist performs interpretation, and a system that results with interpretation report are returned to each center as soon as possible is established. In addition, we regularly hold conferences with related clinical departments and strive to provide better medical care with close collaboration.
