Radiology Department

The Radiology Department of Tianjin Hospital is a comprehensive imaging discipline that integrates various categories of imaging diagnosis and imaging technology. It is responsible for the teaching, scientific research and management of medical imaging. The Radiology Department currently has 50 medical technicians at all levels, including 5 chief physicians, 2 deputy chief physicians, 1 chief technician, 2 deputy chief technicians, 1 deputy chief nurse, and 1 senior engineer. Many people hold positions as chairpersons, standing committee members, and committee members in professional academic groups across the country and in our city. They also serve as editorial boards of many professional journals such as the International Journal of Medical Radiology and the Journal of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine and Surgery. The department is equipped with imaging examination equipment: 3 computerized radiography systems (CR), 5 digital radiography systems (DR), 2 mobile DRs, 2 high-end CTs, and 2 3.0T high-field magnetic resonance equipment, which can fully meet clinical, teaching and scientific research needs. PACS and RIS systems covering the entire hospital have been built to realize the informatization and digitalization process of images, and to realize the self-service issuance of diagnostic reports and imaging films. With the increasing perfection of our department's imaging equipment and the continuous improvement of imaging technology, the number of examination services provided to patients has increased year by year, reaching more than 260,000 in 2020.The discipline focuses on solving clinical needs, attaches great importance to multidisciplinary cooperation and exchanges, and adheres to clinical academic exchanges and case studies guided by scientific research. Over the years, it has won the "Excellence Award for Medical Imaging Diagnostic Report Quality Control", "Excellence Award for DR Quality Control", "Excellence Award for MRI Quality Control" and "Excellence Award for CT Quality Control" issued by the Tianjin Municipal Health Bureau. The Department of Radiology is the training center for graduate students majoring in imaging medicine and nuclear medicine at Tianjin Medical University. Currently, more than 60 graduate students (3 foreign students) have graduated. It undertakes the task of being a medical imaging base for standardized training of residents in Tianjin and has completed 10 trainee training sessions. He is responsible for teaching three undergraduate courses at Tianjin Medical University, Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Tianjin Medical University Clinical School. It is the unit in charge of two national, provincial and municipal excellent courses at Tianjin Medical College, and has trained a large number of imaging professionals at all levels and types for Tianjin and even the country.He has undertaken 11 scientific and technological research projects and general projects of the Tianjin Municipal Health Commission, published nearly 200 papers in SCI-collected magazines and professional core journals, completed more than 20 projects to introduce and apply new technologies to fill gaps in the Tianjin health system, and won 2 national invention patents and multiple utility model patents.
