Radiology uses focused beams of radiation, commonly known as “x-rays,” which pass through the body to generate an image of skeletal structure, internal organs, and variations in tissue density. Doctors can use this information to identify broken bones, certain types of infection, and abnormal growths.

Shanghai East International Medical Center's radiology services utilize a top-of-the-line GE Revolution XR/d digital x-ray suite with a 2 detector configuration and the best-in-class GE Senographe 2000D digital mammography suite. Digital technology provides the sharpest possible images while minimizing the amount of radiation needed.

Dr. Kevin Zhu (China)
Radiographer

Dr. Kevin Zhu is a graduate of the Shanghai Second Medical University majoring in medical imaging and received his training at Shanghai Ruijin Hospital. Dr. Zhu has worked as a radiologist in the Imaging Department of Shanghai Liqun Hospital for five years, and furthered his studies in radio-diagnosis, interventional radiology, and radiotherapy at Tongji University. His clinical experience includes diagnostic radiology, CT imaging and as well as the full spectrum of other medical imaging.

Ultrasonography, commonly called “sonography” or “ultrasound,” uses high frequency sound waves to produce dynamic visual images of organs, tissues, or blood flow inside the body, and is also widely used in antenatal care to observe and track proper growth of the fetus in the mother's womb. Unlike x-rays, sonography is a radiation-free imaging modality.

Sonography is increasingly being used in the detection and treatment of heart and vascular disease that can lead to stroke. It is also used to guide fine-needle tissue biopsy to assist in taking a sample of cells from an organ for lab testing (for example, a test for cancer in breast tissue). Ultrasound scans are performed using a Philips HDI color Doppler unit.
