Diagnostic Imaging Center The Imaging Center (No. 13) is located on the first floor of the hospital and is staffed by radiologists, radiology technologists, nurses, and clerical staff. The reception desk for imaging examinations is located on the first floor of the hospital as the Imaging Center (No. 13). Imaging equipment is always of the latest models, and the first and basement floors together house five radiography rooms, three X-ray fluoroscopy units, four CT units, four MRI units, four nuclear medicine units including a PET-CT unit, two mammography units (breast biopsy can be performed), one dental cephalopantomography unit, and one lithotripsy unit, X-ray bone mineral density analyzer. In addition, the center is also in charge of in-patient room (portable) radiography, which is performed in the hospital wards. In addition, as imaging tests performed outside the center, there is an X-ray room, a CT scanner, an MRI scanner, and an angiography system at Emergency Medical Center, four angiography systems at Intravascular Treatment Center, and a hybrid angiography system that enables both conventional surgery and cadet procedures in the central operating room. We are working with each department to provide cross-disciplinary support.

Examinations are carried out through the collaborative efforts of a multidisciplinary team, primarily consisting of radiologists certified by the Japanese Society of Radiology, radiological technologists with specialized qualifications certified by the Japanese Society of Radiological Technology, and nurses and nursing assistants highly skilled in diagnostic radiology. We strive to ensure that diagnostic results are promptly reported to the relevant clinical departments by the radiologists. Furthermore, our hospital maintains appropriate management of medical radiation and is certified as a "Medical Radiation Exposure Reduction Facility" by the Japanese Society of Radiological Technologists. In particular, regarding radiation exposure from CT scans, which attract significant social attention, we are actively incorporating new technologies such as the use of new CT equipment and the application of iterative approximation methods to reduce radiation doses. Especially in children, imaging using low tube voltage, and in coronary artery CT scans, the use of specialized equipment, can sometimes result in extremely low radiation doses.

In this way, Diagnostic Imaging Center makes every effort to provide the best possible images for medical treatment safely and quickly, and to ensure that patients can undergo examinations with peace of mind.
