at Xiamen Zhongshan Hospital is the first medical institution to offer a high level of MRI Introduction of Ultrasound Department
Overview
The Ultrasound Department of Zhongshan Hospital Xiamen University is a major clinical department for ultrasound diagnosis, treatment, education and research. It is the Medical Imaging research center of Medical College Xiamen University, Xiamen ultrasound medical quality control center, affiliated unit of cross-strait medical and health exchange association of ultrasound medical expert committee, Xiamen municipal key discipline, the national resident standardized training base and Fujian province ultrasound training base. Formal authorization for Master’s degree of medical imaging was given in 2012.
Ultrasound Department here are four well-established subspecialities, i.e., cardiovascular ultrasound subspeciality, abdominal ultrasound subspeciality, superficial organs and peripheral vascular ultrasound subspeciality, obstetrics and gynaecology ultrasound subspeciality.

Clinic work
Currently the Department is equipped with more than 30 sets of advanced ultrasound devices. More than 1000 cases per day received examination and therapy. Medical service provided by the Department covers out-patients, in-patients, emergency patients and physical examination. Besides diagnostic imaging, interventional therapy is also available as daily service. Many up-to-date technologies are widely employed in clinical works. In particular, several aspects are considered to be our highlights:
Highlights on Diagnostic Imaging：
1)Contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS).
2)Gastrointestinal ultrasound.
3)Skeletal muscle ultrasound.
4)Pelvic floor three-dimensional ultrasound.
5)Fetal heart ultrasound.
6)Transesophageal three-dimensional ultrasound.
7)Interventional treatment of heart disease guided by TEE.
8)Liver cancer radiofrequency ablation
Eduction
Ultrasound department assumed the teaching mission for Medical College Xiamen University, Xiamen Medical College and Fujian Medical University. We have a set of advanced anatomy navigation system, which plays an important role in teaching. Ultrasonic LAN monitoring system realizes real-time, dynamic sharing of ultrasound images between different examination rooms, and real-time voice communication. Thus this system contribute to teleconsultation for difficult and complicated cases.
Research
In recent years, our department has acquired 8 major scientific research projects including 2 National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), 4 Natural Science Foundation of Fujian Province and 2 Xiamen Science Foundation. 7 research articles are published in SCI-listed and 14 national journals as first and/or corresponding author in recent five years. Besides, the faculty of our department participate in the international and domestic conferences and report at the meeting.
The high-level academic group and the up-to-date equipments keep our department at the forefront of ultrasonic medical diagnosis, education and research of the south of Fujian Province area. We are trying to make our own contribution to be a famous ultrasound medicine center in China.
