About this hospitalWhat the center says
From the center's own pages, in English. Each statement links to its source.
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.
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.

How we priced it
A panel counts once however many of its tests the package lists. A test for one sex only is counted only for that sex. Tests we could not price are left out, so this is not what a US checkup would cost. Prices marked "rough" come from a single reseller or are extrapolated from a similar test.

- Chest X-ray · about 0.1 mSv
- Low-dose chest CT · about 1.5 mSv
- Mammography · about 0.28 mSv
- PET-CT (FDG) · about 23 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 16 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 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.
For a transabdominal scan, drinking water beforehand to fill the bladder is common; for a transvaginal scan, an empty bladder is usual instead.
Mention when booking: Tell the center which type of scan you expect, and mention if you are, or might be, pregnant.
Usually needs little or no preparation; an enema and antibiotics are mainly for a planned biopsy. A scan through the lower belly instead may need a full bladder.
Mention when booking: Mention aspirin or other blood thinners; if a biopsy is planned, the center may ask about pausing them, so ask the prescribing doctor before changing any medicine.
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.
Guidelines on eating and drinking vary by center, so ask when booking. Remove jewelry and metal beforehand.
Mention when booking: Mention a pacemaker, aneurysm clip, cochlear implant or other implanted device, metal fragments, pregnancy, kidney disease, or claustrophobia.
Afterwards: If you take a sedative for claustrophobia or anxiety, you'll need someone to take you home; arrange this before the scan.
Usually needs several hours without food and only water to drink beforehand, then 30 to 60 minutes resting quietly after the tracer injection. Leave jewelry, hairpins and other metal at home.
Mention when booking: Tell the center about diabetes (ask the prescribing doctor about timing diabetes medicine), any contrast or iodine allergy, kidney disease, and pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Afterwards: Drink plenty of water afterward to help clear the tracer; normal activities can usually resume right away.
Usually asks that you skip deodorant, powder or lotion on the underarms and breasts, since these can look like calcium spots on the image. Bring prior mammograms from elsewhere if you have them.
Mention when booking: Mention breast implants, any breast symptoms, prior breast surgery, hormone use, or the possibility of pregnancy.
Afterwards: You may be asked to wait until the radiologist confirms the images are complete; ask when to expect results.
Usually needs no special preparation; expect to listen for tones or words through headphones, and sometimes a small probe checks how the eardrum moves.
