The First School of Clinical Medicine

Medical imaging is a new discipling of human disease diagnosis and treatment using imaging equipment and surveillance, which is one of the fastest growing field in modern medicine. Our department consists mainly of radiologic diagnostics, nuclear medicine and ultrasound imaging. Now the chairman is Professor Hai-Bin Shi. His speciality is interventional radiology and conducting research in two areas: (1) Animal and clinical studies about stem therapy for ischemic stroke using interventional methods. (2) Clinical and experimental study of interventional therapy for liver cancer.
The medical imaging discipling of our school was established in 1993 approved by the Ministry of Education, started recruiting students in 1994. She was named the Key Specialties of the Province Health Department in 2001, and approved the PH.D awarded points of Radiation Medicine and Imaging and Nuclear Medicine in 2003 and 2005 respectively. As well, she was rated the College Specialty Construction Units in Jiangsu Province, authorized unique National resident/specialist training center in Jiangsu Province by the Ministry of Health. The Medical Imaging Experimental Demonstration Center of Jiangsu Province was built in 2009.
She undertook many research work including national natural scientific foundation program, national 973 project, provincial society development program, and 135 doctor-training item, etc. Hundreds of papers were published and scientific technical progress awards were received five times in recent five years.
With the support of university and the government, the department renewed and upgraded her medical imaging hard and software. Now, in our department, there are two laboratories, which possesses a variety of imaging equipment, including 3T MR, dual-source CT, digital gastrointestinal imaging machine, digital mammography machine and DR,CR, etc.
There are nine professors and chief physicians, nine associated professors and deputy director of Physicians, three Doctor Tutors and eight Master Instructors. Among the staff, 10(38.4%) of them with PH.D degree and more than 22(84.6%) with Master's degree. They keep their pace with the international standards and continue doing research work in their fields.
The medical imaging discipling of our school set clinical, teaching and research as a whole, has become a key specialties with great influence.

We established the Medical Imaging Laboratory on Wutai campuses in 2004 and built a new laboratory on new campuses in July 2006, set up the Medical Imaging Experimental and Teaching Center which include diagnostic radiology, interventional radiology,ultrasound medical, imaging technology and nuclear medicine. The Experimental and Teaching Demonstration Center was established in 2007. We increased the investment in hardware, software and personnel, as well, we published several papers and got several teaching subjects. Our students won the first prize of National Clinical Skills Competition.
Our center implement two institutions' management and Director Responsibility. The director of the center is Professor Shi Hai-bin.
