Medical Department Introduction

Ultrasound department

The ultrasound department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University (Shanghai Red House hospital) was established in the late 70s’ of 20th century. As one of the pioneer units of obstetrics and gynecology ultrasound in China, we always pay close attention to the development of international obstetrics and gynecology ultrasound in the near 30 years. We carried out a variety of ultrasound in gynecology and obstetrics, including transvaginal ultrasound, interventional ultrasound, color Doppler ultrasound, three-dimensional ultrasound,contrast-enhanced ultrasound and so on. Currently, ultrasound diagnoses of reproductive endocrine diseases in gynecology, gynecologic cancer, fetal malformation screening, high-risk obstetric ultrasound, fetal echocardiography and so on are in line with international standards. In 1996, ultrasound department was first reported in ultrasound-guided transvaginal puncture, oocyte retrieval, in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. We successfully conducted the first case of ultrasound-mediated intrauterine fetal transfusion in East China on 30 September 2006. 

Among 34 doctors, we have one post-doctorate, two PhD, 13 MA, one PhD undergraduate, two MA undergraduate. Our department currently has one full professor, 6 deputy directors of physicians.
