Fast changing modern day living and consumer patterns bring about the urgent need of a more specific and higher standard of medical care in society. To meet the government policy in providing fast and effective service to the public, Tri-Service General Hospital has been actively engaged in various service-oriented activities in order to bring our medical services to a higher level.

Even since our relocation to Neihu, “Tri-Service, At your Service” has been our goal to serve the community. With much improved hardware being added to our hospital facilities as well as intensive training programs, we expect to build a well-rounded medical system to better serve the military and the community.

For your reference, this handbook covers information regarding our administrative functions, medical specialties, available public services, etc. in detail.

c) Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Center

Since it became available 30 years ago, PET has clinically tested tumors of various kinds in respect to the brain, neck, lymph system, lungs, large intestine, rectum, breast, gullet, pancreas and ovary to give effective, accurate assessment in terms of diagnosis, staging tumor treatment efficacy, and predicting outcome. It also provides valuable information in terms of neurological and myocardial function. It is considered to be one of the most instrumental medical diagnostic tools available in today’s medical environment.

Prior to the grand opening of the PET Center in Taipei in July 2003, we assigned medical professionals to the Mayo Medical Center, the University Of Pennsylvania Medical Center in the United States, and ASAB Medical Center in Korea to be trained and to study this innovative science

The Biographic PET/CT scanner imported from Germany combining the CT Scan and PET technique into one is considered the most important medical invention in the year 2000 according to “U. S. News and World Report”. It is with this sophisticated equipment as well as our well-trained PET team that we proudly and confidently offer our most efficient and best service to the general public.
