E-Da Hospital has invested heavily in advanced medical equipment needed to provide high-quality medical service:
We have established the first Gamma Knife Center in southern Taiwan. This facility allows patients to avoid the risk and discomfort of conventional brain surgery, and allows patients to undergo surgery under only partial anesthesia and leave the hospital the next day.
We have a C-T Room providing Positron Emission Tomography: Accurate medical images allow the prompt diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of conditions including cancer and heart disease.
Our Linear Accelerator focuses radiation directly on tumors, lessening damage to normal tissue. The accompanying IMRT computer system enhances the tumor control rate and lessens chance of complications involving normal tissue. This powerful weapon against cancer can clearly improve survival rate of patients.
Our medical imaging center has acquired the first 64-row CT scanner in Kaohsiung. This instrument can detect lung tumors as small as 0.1 cm in size.
