Brief History
The "Zhongshan-Jefferson" Diagnostic Ultrasound Training Center was
founded on June 10, 1996. The preparatory work of educational program has been
arranged in combination with our domestic Medical continuity Educational Items
which will be recognized by everywhere in our country, and authorized on China
National Category I Credit for attending persons.
During 1997-98, an educational course was arranged for 8 days once a year.
From 1999, the 8 day program will be provided twice per year.
Profile of our Education Center
The "Zhongshan-Jefferson" Diagnostic ultrasound training Center is
located in Zhongshan Hospital, Shanghai Medical University, which is a Affiliated
Educational Center of the Jefferson Ultrasound Research and Educational Institute,
and joined with the Division of Diagnostic Ultrasound of Zhongshan Hospital.
There are 1100 beds and 1800 staff (doctors, nurses, etc.), the Liver Cancer
Institute and the Shanghai Cardiovascular Institute are located in this hospital.
Approximately 500 hepatic cancer operations and 400 cardiac operations are done
every year. More than 60,000 ultrasound examinations are performed annually
(including out-patients and inpatients, as well as consulting patients.) The
division is staffed by 11 physicians (who work as physicians and manipulators
both), 3 fellows, 3 sonographers (acting as both sonographer and part-time nurse)
and more than 12 visiting scholars or staff members from other hospitals.
The training course covers the clinical applications of modern color flow imaging
technique in areas of orbital, thyroid, breast, liver, spleen, pelvic organs,
abdominal and pelvic vessels, carotid and peripheral vessels, etc. Demonstrations
and hand-on practice are also be arranged such as for searching a small hepatic
carcinoma, contrast sonography for tumor vascular and intervensional ultrasound
for biopsy and therapeutic purpose.
Current projects
- Research work: Color velocity imaging quantification (CVIQ) on volume flow
quantification for estimation of A-V shunt.
- Compile book: A book named "Recent Abdominal Diagnostic Ultrasound"
(More than 650 pages and over 1000 figures) will be published before the end
of first quarter next year. The idea of book-writing is aroused and urged
by the training course of "Zhongshan-Jefferson" Diagnostic Ultrasound
Training Center
