Department of Radiology
The Department of Radiology at Severance Hospital is sub-divided into the sub-areas of chest, abdomen, genitourinary, neuro, musculoskeletal, pediatric, vascular intervention, breast and nuclear medicine. For every sub-area, competent professors are training excellent medical talents; at the same time, they not only perform the practical and reading tasks, but also treat patients directly like interventional procedure. Also, the Department of Radiology publishes excellent papers on various international science journals and has received various awards from international academic societies like RSNA. Likewise, our clinic is also carrying our various research projects and publishing many papers on international science journals. With best medical instruments and staffs in Korea such as PET-CT, 3T-MRI, our department has apparently played a leading role in the development of diagnostic radiology in Korea.
