Introduction
The Department of Medical Imaging and Radiological Sciences, established in 2002, plans to recruit a new class each year. With the advancement of medical technology, radiodiagnosis, radiotherapy and nuclear medicine technology are becoming more and more important in clinical application. Medical imaging and radiology are indispensable to clinical medicine.
The purpose of the establishment of this department is to cultivate medical imaging and radiological technicians and researchers with equal emphasis on theory and practice for domestic basic radiation science, medical imaging, medical radiology technology and clinical medical institutions. Domestic medical quality.
The development direction is divided into radiodiagnosis technology, radiotherapy technology, nuclear medicine operation technology, medical physics, medical image analysis, ultrasound operation technology, radiation measurement, isotope tracing technology and the development of radiopharmaceuticals.
Course planning
The course planning is divided into five fields: basic science, basic medicine, radiation and imaging science, clinical radiation technology, clinical practice, etc. both basic science and clinical science are emphasized. It focuses on basic electronics, medical imaging and radiology, and integrates with clinical diagnosis, treatment, nuclear medicine, ultrasound and imaging. To cultivate students' ability to produce and write papers on special topics, and to cultivate students' professional skills in radiation science and humanistic quality in general education.
The graduation credits are 142 credits, including 99 professional compulsory credits (including 1 credit summary course), 3 college professional compulsory credits, 14 professional elective credits, including 14 general core courses compulsory credits, 10 general liberal arts courses, and 2 service and knowledge practice courses compulsory credits.
The first-year courses are mainly basic subjects and computer programming.
The content of the second-year course is mainly an important subject of basic medicine and basic radiology.
The third-year courses are mainly related to disciplines of radiation technology and clinical internship courses such as radiology and introduction to clinical medicine.
The fourth-year course is mainly a hospital practice course, which enables students to have clinical training with qualified medical radiologists.
Faculty
In order to cultivate excellent medical imaging and radiation science and technology talents, the Department currently has 8 full-time teachers and 9 part-time teachers. In the next three years, we plan to recruit more than 10 full-time teachers who are assistant professors and invite relevant radiologists of the medical center to assist in teaching clinical courses, so as to improve the quality of teaching and achieve the effect of learning for application.
In the next three years, we plan to recruit more than 10 full-time teachers who are assistant professors and invite relevant radiologists of the medical center to assist in teaching clinical-related courses, so as to improve the quality of teaching and achieve the effect of learning for application.
The plan has the following eight key development directions:
1. Radiology diagnosis technology
2. Radiotherapy technology
3. Isotope operation technology
4. Medical physics
5. Medical image analysis
6. Development of radiopharmaceuticals
7. Ultrasound operation technology
8. Nuclear medicine operation technology
Prospect
1. The master's program of the Institute of medical imaging and radiology aims to train high-level research talents in radiation medicine technology in South Taiwan and promote the development of radiation technology and medical imaging.
2. To cooperate with the growth of all medical and health-related departments in the school, to achieve the goal of establishing a medical school in the school, and to support the affiliated hospital to make it a medical center.
3. We will actively expand the number of hospitals and medical centers that can be built for teaching cooperation, integrate teachers and promote integrated cooperative research projects.
Graduation way
Graduates of this department may take the national examination, obtain a radiologist's license, work in hospitals, or set up their own medical radiology center. They can also be engaged in the work of medical physicists, radiation protection, medical image processing, nuclear medicine R & D, etc. in the hospital, or engaged in the sales and maintenance of radiation and medical equipment affecting the business community, and choose to continue their studies, including going abroad for further study or studying in the domestic research institute or postgraduate medical department.
