Established in January 1983 as one of Chongqing's earliest ultrasound departments, our department has evolved over four decades into a comprehensive ultrasound diagnosis and treatment center integrating clinical services, education, and research. Recognized as a doctoral and master's degree-granting unit in imaging medicine, we hold significant academic influence in Southwest China.
Serving as the chair institution of the 6th and 7th Chongqing Medical Association Ultrasound Committee, our department excels in discipline development, talent cultivation, and scientific innovation. We specialize in five subspecialty divisions: superficial organs, vascular, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, and pediatric ultrasound, ensuring precision across diverse clinical needs.
Notably, our achievements include:
l Designation as a National Clinical Key Specialty (2013);
l Recognition as a Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound Excellence Unit by the Chinese Medical Doctor Association Ultrasound Branch (2017);
l Accreditation as a National Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Training Base by the Chinese Medical Doctor Association (2019).
Our team comprises 109 medical professionals, including 11 senior specialists (5 professors and 6 associate professors) and 22 mid-level practitioners, with 91% holding master’s or doctoral degrees. Equipped with 35 advanced ultrasound systems from global leaders such as Canon, Hitachi, GE, and Philips (29 high-end color Doppler units and 6 portable devices), we deliver comprehensive diagnostic services across abdominal, thyroid, breast, vascular, musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, and pediatric ultrasound. Our daily patient volume reaches 1,000–1,200 cases, excluding routine health screenings. Pioneering minimally invasive interventions, we specialize in contrast-enhanced ultrasound, ultrasound-guided biopsy, catheter drainage, stent placement, PTCD, and tumor ablation, enhancing precision in diagnosis and treatment.
Academic & Research Excellence (2019–2024):
l Trained 85 clinical fellows from 9 provinces, including Yunnan, Sichuan, Tibet, and Xinjiang, et al;
l Mentored medical imaging undergraduates, graduate students, and international scholars;l Secured 17 research grants (5 national, 9 provincial);
l Developed 4 invention patents and 1 utility model patent;l Led 2 regional healthcare innovation initiatives and 2 university-level research programs;
l Published 100+ papers, including 30 SCI-indexed studies.
Guided by the principle of “Precision Diagnostics, Excellence in Care”, we advance ultrasound medicine through cutting-edge practice, multidisciplinary education, and translational research, driving regional progress in the field.
