About this hospitalWhat the center says
From the center's own pages, in English. Each statement links to its source.
Examinees without National Health Insurance must pay the full biopsy fee themselves; those with NHI coverage should present their NHI card when a biopsy is needed.
If a patient cancels a scheduled colonoscopy after already receiving the bowel-prep kit, they must still pay for the laxatives and meal replacements that were sent.
The center charges a NT$12,000 fee to cover the radiotracer cost if a PET/CT scan is canceled on the day of the exam.
For painless (sedated) gastroscopy and colonoscopy, appointments must be made at least 3 weeks in advance.
Patients who undergo sedated (painless) endoscopy must not drive or ride a vehicle afterward and should arrange an escort or other transportation home.
General anesthesia for sedated endoscopy is not given to patients who have had a heart attack in the past 6 months, unstable angina, severe arrhythmia, or are older than 75.
Before a contrast-enhanced CT scan, patients with a history of contrast or drug allergies, thyroid disease, impaired kidney function, asthma, diabetes (especially those taking metformin), or possible pregnancy should report this in advance.
Barium swallow (upper GI series) is not given to pregnant patients, those with bowel obstruction, or those who have had a gastrointestinal biopsy within the past 24 hours.
The center has a critical-value notification system: if a result is seriously abnormal, a nurse proactively contacts the patient and helps arrange a follow-up outpatient visit.

General preparation notes for 13 tests in this package
This is general information about how the exam is usually done, not medical advice for you or your family member. Requirements vary by center and by individual health history — always follow the center's own instructions and your own doctor's guidance, especially for any medicine change.
Mention when booking: Mention a pacemaker or implanted defibrillator: the test passes a weak electric current through the body and has traditionally not been recommended with these devices.
Fasting for 9 to 12 hours (no food or drink except plain water) is often requested, so the test is often done in the morning.
Mention when booking: Confirm with the center whether your test needs fasting; if you take insulin or other diabetes medicine, ask the prescribing doctor how to manage it while fasting.
Fasting for 9 to 12 hours (no food or drink except plain water) is often requested.
Mention when booking: Confirm with the center whether your test needs fasting; if you take insulin or other diabetes medicine, ask the prescribing doctor how to manage it while fasting.
Usually needs at least 8 hours without food or drink except water beforehand.
Mention when booking: If you take insulin or other diabetes medicine, ask the prescribing doctor how to manage it while fasting, and mention it to the center.
Usually needs several hours without food or drink beforehand. Antibiotics, bismuth and acid-reducing PPIs taken in the weeks before can hide the infection, so the center will ask about them.
Mention when booking: Tell the center which antibiotics, bismuth products or acid-reducing medicines you take, and ask the prescribing doctor about timing before the test.
Guaiac-based kits usually ask you to avoid red meat, NSAIDs and more than 250mg of vitamin C for a few days beforehand; FIT kits usually need no diet change.
Mention when booking: Tell the center which kit you were given, and ask the prescribing doctor before stopping aspirin taken for the heart.
Usually needs a clean-catch (midstream) sample; some tests instead ask you to collect all urine passed over 24 hours.
Mention when booking: Ask which specific urine test your provider ordered, since collection instructions vary by test.
Usually needs no fasting; you remove jewelry, metal objects and sometimes clothing above the waist for a hospital gown.
Mention when booking: Tell the center if you are, or might be, pregnant.
Usually needs a few hours without food or drink beforehand; you may be asked to drink an oral contrast liquid, and an IV contrast injection is common.
Mention when booking: Tell the center about kidney disease, contrast allergy, diabetes medicine and possible pregnancy; ask the prescribing doctor before changing any medicine.
Usually needs about 4 hours without food, caffeine or smoking beforehand; no contrast injection is used for this scan.
Mention when booking: Tell the center if pregnancy is possible.
Afterwards: No recovery time is needed; normal activities can usually resume right away.
Usually needs no fasting and no contrast injection; loose clothing with no metal is easiest.
Mention when booking: Tell the center if you are, or might be, pregnant.
Usually needs about 8 hours without food or drink, including water, beforehand.
Mention when booking: Tell the center about heart or lung disease, aspirin, blood thinners, arthritis medicine, insulin or iron, and ask the prescribing doctor before changing any medicine.
Afterwards: After sedation, no driving, machinery or legal documents that day; get a ride home. Contact a doctor for fever, trouble swallowing, chest or belly pain, or black stools; bleeding can start days later.
Usually asks that you skip calcium supplements for 24 hours beforehand. Avoid clothing with metal zippers or buttons, and remove jewelry.
Mention when booking: Mention any recent barium exam or CT/nuclear-medicine contrast, and whether pregnancy is possible.
