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.

Not counted: Chest X-ray (PA view). If it is an X-ray, CT or PET scan, the total is higher.
- Abdominal X-ray (KUB) · about 0.7 mSv
- Coronary artery calcium score · about 1.7 mSv
- Low-dose chest CT · about 1.5 mSv
Typical doses from published references (RadiologyInfo.org ↗, Mettler et al. 2008 ↗); the actual dose depends on the scanner and protocol. Ask the center for its own figure.

General preparation notes for 10 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.
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 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 about 6 hours without food beforehand; clear fluids other than milk or fizzy drinks are commonly still allowed. Loose, comfortable clothing is easiest.
Mention when booking: Mention if you have type 1 diabetes, so the center can offer an early appointment time.
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 a clear-liquid diet the day before and a split-dose bowel-cleansing prep taken the evening before and morning of the exam; drinking extra fluids helps avoid dehydration.
Mention when booking: Tell the center about heart, kidney or lung disease, blood thinners, diabetes medicine, aspirin, arthritis medicine or iron; ask the prescribing doctor before changing any medicine.
Afterwards: After sedation, no driving, operating machinery or signing legal documents for the rest of the day; someone should take you home.
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 needs no special preparation; expect to listen for tones or words through headphones, and sometimes a small probe checks how the eardrum moves.
