MRI examination

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is capable of obtaining cross-sectional images of the organs and tissues in the body by using powerful magnetic fields and radio waves. We have introduced an audiovisual system that streams music and videos inside the examination room to help patients undergo examinations in a relaxed atmosphere.

CT examination

Computed tomography (CT) is capable of cross-sectionally imaging organs and tissues in the body with the use of X-rays. Our CT apparatus is capable of obtaining images in a short time to reduce the burden on patients.

Angiography/fluoroscopy examinations

Angiography is capable of capturing images of blood vessels with X-rays by using a contrast agent that is injected into the vessel through a catheter inserted into it.
Fluoroscopy is designed to visualize organs and tissues with the use of contrast agents such as barium. We have also introduced an audiovisual system inside the examination rooms to help patients undergo examinations and treatment in a relaxed atmosphere.

Nuclear scanning

Nuclear scanning is designed to scan structures and functions inside the body by injecting a radioactive agent and capturing the radioactive rays that are then released from the body. SPECT-CT and PET-CT apparatuses that we have introduced are capable of conducting various kinds of nuclear scanning.
