Features

Clinical Services
The Department of Medical Imaging is composed of radiologists, radiologic technologists, nurses, radiation safety officers, and administrative staff.
We provide a full spectrum of diagnostic and interventional imaging services, including X-ray, ultrasound, mammography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), gastrointestinal studies, and angiography.
Through image-guided interventions, our team performs a variety of minimally invasive procedures to assist clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, ensuring comprehensive and patient-centered care.

Education and Training
The department’s medical and radiological professionals are actively involved in teaching at Chung Shan Medical University, providing foundational courses in diagnostic imaging and radiological sciences for students from the College of Medicine, the School of Medical Imaging and Radiological Sciences, and other disciplines.
We also offer clinical training programs for residents, interns, and radiologic technologists from both within and outside the hospital, fostering the next generation of imaging specialists.

Research
The Department maintains strong, long-term collaborations with various clinical departments, university divisions, and inter-institutional partners to conduct a wide range of imaging-related research projects.
Our faculty actively publish research findings in international journals and share advancements in medical imaging technologies and clinical applications worldwide.

Facilities and Equipment
The Department of Medical Imaging is equipped with a comprehensive range of state-of-the-art imaging systems, including one of the widest-coverage CT scanners available and high-resolution 3T MRI systems.
We continue to adopt AI-assisted image analysis software to enhance diagnostic accuracy and workflow efficiency.
All examination areas are designed in full compliance with radiation safety regulations and are equipped with certified radiation protection systems to ensure patient and staff safety.

Achievements

1. In 2000, Chung Shan Medical University Hospital became the first hospital in Taiwan to achieve full digital transformation of medical imaging through the implementation of a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), successfully realizing a film-free hospital environment. This accomplishment earned the hospital the National Biotechnology and Medical Care Quality Award.
2. The hospital has demonstrated outstanding performance in radiation protection management, receiving the Excellence Award from the Atomic Energy Council (AEC) on five separate occasions for excellence in radiation safety operations.
   In recognition of its active role in promoting and supporting radiation protection education, the AEC also presented the department with a Certificate of Appreciation.
3. Our mammography quality assurance program has been consistently recognized, with the hospital being awarded the “Accredited Mammography Training Hospital” title by the Health Promotion Administration, Ministry of Health and Welfare, for five consecutive terms.
4. In 2016, the department received the 13th National Innovation Award for the project “Patient-Centered Medical Radiation Dose Monitoring System and Its Clinical Application.”
5. The hospital is also certified as a training center for mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke, providing 24-hour emergency endovascular thrombectomy services to ensure timely and effective treatment for stroke patients.

Technical Advantages

1. Key Feature
   Our department is committed to a patient-centered approach, achieving optimal radiation dose management under the guiding principle of ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) to ensure both diagnostic accuracy and patient safety.
2. Innovations
   • Developed a personalized dose-tracking system for computed tomography (CT) and interventional radiology procedures.
   • Established the first automated system in Taiwan for creating and analyzing Diagnostic Reference Levels (DRLs) in CT imaging.
