Especially, it has prominent diagnosis effect on the metabolic disorder of organs, cardiovascular disorders, cerebrovascular disease, and it can find the reason of the epileptic seizure to cure it by surgery, and it is also used in early cancer diagnosis and observation.

PET - CT

PET – CT a cutting-edge diagnosis equipment made of a combination of Positron Emission Tomography(PET) and Computed Tomography(CT) that can diagnose cancer in the whole body with just one examination, and find out the location of it. It diagnoses the metabolic load, activity of cancer so even small cancers with high malignity can be found accurately, so it is used in tumor diagnosis like early diagnosis of cancer, treatment response evaluation, process and invasion range, tumor’s remote transfer, or neuro-psychosis like Alzheimer's disease(Dementia), epilepsy, cerebral palsy, mental illnesses (depression, obsession, and schizophrenia), stroke, and cerebrovascular.

CT (COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY)

CT is an imaging technology that collects the X-rays exposed from various directions to penetrate the goal part of body with a detector, and analyzes the X-ray absorption difference with a computer by using math methods. Compared to the X-ray pictures in the past, it has prominent resolution and contract in classifying the blood and cerebrospinal fluid, white matter, tumors, tumor, and it can express the absorption difference of the subtle parts, so it is playing an important role in image diagnostic method.

The basic principle is the X-ray tube spins around the cross section of the body and exposes the X-ray beam, and the detector collects the intensity, and the computer calculates the absorption intensity from each part by the data to rebuild a video and display it on monitor. MDCT in Ulsan University hospital has 16 multiple detectors so that it can image a wide range of examination area quickly in a light thickness compared the existing CTs which has only one detector.

After collecting the image, by follow-up management process using an upgraded computer, we are able to provide medical service of good quality by CT blood vessel image (CT-ANGIO) D and 3-dimensional video with more accuracy and daily availability. It can image the moving organs like heart, and it can create 3 and 4-dimensional video for diagnosing the disease solidly and accurately.

Digital angiogram

An angiogram is imaging the blood vessel by inserting fine tube-like noodles called catheter and using contrast medium and angiogram device. This is a basic image technology used in all vessel intervention procedure

Intervention procedure

Various intervention procedures are processed in radiology department.

  • 1. Angiogram
  • 2. Percutaneous angioplasty of peripheral vascular disease
  • 3. Clotbuster treatment of deep vein thrombosis
  • 4. Nonoperative treatment of aortism: Artificial blood vessel stent
  • 5. Nonoperative treatment of uterine myoma: Pelvic venography embolization
  • 6. Nonoperative treatment of chronic pelvic pain: Pelvic venography embolization
  • 7. Nonoperative treatment of liver cancer
  • 8. Nonoperative treatment of diseases of biliary tract
  • 9. Nonoperative treatment of urosis
  • 10. Nonoperative treatment of gastrointestinal tract
  • 11. Various biopsies
  • 12. Nonoperative treatment of cerebrovascular disease

Angiogram device of Siemens company, Germany in Ulsan university hospital is a cutting edge treatment and diagnosis device with the prominent definition. It reduces the procedure time and uses time efficiently because it can obtain an image without distortion due to the lesion’s curb, so it helps to provide the best medical service.

MRI (MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING)

MRI, MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING examines the patient in a device composed of strong magnet and exposes Radio Frequency Pulse using the magnetic field and analyzes the signal from the Hydrogen nucleus in the body to make the video by calculating the resonance difference of each tissue and organ.

In short, this is a diagnostic method rebuilding the measured magnetic characteristic of the materials composing the body by the computer and visualizing it. Existing radiation image for diagnosis uses the radiation, but it is the biggest difference that MRI uses a magnet.

MRI makes us obtain videos from various surfaces, and understand the materials of the lesion with prominent contrast, so it is the best video examination method in many diseases including Cranial nerve and muscle and bone system. Achieva MR 3.0T of Philips in Ulsan university hospital is the latest model in clinic, and it reduces the examination time so to reduce the pressure of Emergency patient, claustrophobia patients, or patients without self-control.)
