Medical Imaging

The Department of Medical Imaging of Peking University Cancer Hospital undertakes the medical imaging examinations, imaging diagnosis and CT-guided needle biopsy work of the whole hospital, with comprehensive and balanced development of clinical care, research and teaching. At present the department has more than 120 medical, technical and nursing staff, including 17 with senior professional titles. The department has advanced examination equipment: it possesses 8 CT scanners such as an ultra-high-end spectral CT (GE Revolution 256-row) and the latest generation of dual-source spectral CT (Siemens SOMATOM Force), and 8 3.0T and 1.5T MR scanners, all equipped with artificial intelligence deep learning processing systems. The department's medical practice and scientific research in tumor diagnosis, precise staging and efficacy evaluation are at the domestic leading level. The department innovatively applies multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging technology and artificial intelligence image analysis technology to promote the realization of precise tumor imaging diagnosis. Its optimization of imaging examination techniques, precise diagnosis and related research for gastric cancer and colorectal cancer are at the leading level at home and abroad. It undertakes multiple scientific research projects, including those of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the key research and development program of the Ministry of Science and Technology, and Beijing municipal key projects. To date it has published more than 500 papers in authoritative professional journals at home and abroad, including 9 series research papers in Radiology, a top journal in medical imaging, and enjoys a good reputation in the academic field of medical imaging. Its scientific research achievements have won 1 second prize of the Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Progress Award, 2 Science and Technology Awards of the China Anti-Cancer Association, and 1 third prize of the Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Progress Award. The director of the department, Professor Sun Yingshi, currently serves as director of the Department of Imaging Medicine of the Peking University Health Science Center and president-elect of the Tumor Imaging Professional Committee of the China Anti-Cancer Association; several experts of the department serve as committee members of the Radiology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association. The department has compiled multiple guidelines, standards and expert consensuses on tumor imaging, promoting the improvement of tumor imaging examination and diagnosis levels nationwide. The department currently has 3 professors, 6 associate professors, 4 doctoral supervisors and 7 master's supervisors, and has trained more than 70 graduate students. For many years the department has been committed to exploring teaching models for tumor imaging, developing tumor imaging teaching into the present multi-level and multi-modal comprehensive teaching system. "Construction and Implementation of a Professional Talent Training Model Based on a Single-Disease Tumor Imaging Database" won the second prize of the Peking University Teaching Achievement Award. Several professors have received the title of excellent teacher from the Peking University Health Science Center or the Cancer Hospital. In 2017 the department was approved as a Beijing municipal radiology base for standardized residency training, undertaking the task of training high-level young imaging physicians. From 2015 to 2025 it has successfully held the national continuing education project "Advanced Seminar on Standardized Tumor Imaging Examination and Precise Diagnosis" for many consecutive years, providing a platform for multidisciplinary development and exchange for the broad community of tumor imaging medical workers and researchers, promoting the construction of the tumor imaging discipline in China and advancing the development of tumor imaging.
