Department Department of Radiology
Introduction Established in 1954, the Department of Radiology succeeded in Korea’s first cardiac angiography in 1959 and studied gastric emptying and motility in the 1960s and achieving animal experiments for radiation hazard in 1970’s. With the introduction of CT, ultrasonography, and angiography machines in the early 1980s, the department has devoted to interventional radiology as well as images and put emphasis on CTguided fine-needle biopsy (Korea’s first also), biliary and vascular intervention, and developed into interventional neuroradiology (endovascular neurosurgery) in 1990’s. As installing PACS (digital image process and display) in the early 1990’s the department completely equipped with sole digital machines.
Continuously expanded, the department now possesses four MR units (three 3 tesla machines), six CTs, four angiographic units, and more than ten ultrasound machines. Now it has fourteen faculty members and around 120 radiographers studying 651,749 cases of 325,711 patients in the year 2012.​
