Message from the Head of the Department
Our department provides organized educational programs for medical students and radiology residents. In clinical practice, we provide diagnostic support for clinical specialties, interventional radiology treatments using catheters or puncture needles under angiography or CT guidance, and high-precision radiotherapy for malignant tumors. Our research works are based on advanced clinical radiology in various fields, and these results have a potential to influence the treatment strategies.
Activities
1. Diagnostic Radiology and Interventional Radiology
- Interpretation of computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, radiography of various organs, positron-emission tomography and nuclear medicine.
- Vascular interventional procedures including embolization of hemorrhage, pre-surgical vessel embolization.
- Biopsy of tumors and placements of drainages under CT guidance.
- Ultra-sonography for pediatrics.
2. Radiation Oncology

Characteristics of the section
Department of Radiology is composed of two different sections, namely, diagnostic radiology and radiation oncology. With the aids of radiology technicians, diagnostic radiologists administrate quality of imaging such as CT, MRI and PET. Making appropriate diagnosis and suggestions to physicians are one of the important roles for diagnostic radiologists. Participation to clinical conference is recommended in order to have good communication with physicians and to improve the skills in image interpretation of each radiologist.
Radiation oncologists also participate in the case conferences of oncology patients and discuss treatment options with the physicians. The building of radiation oncology has just been rebuilt and the state of the art equipment’s are introduced. Because of the shortage of the radiology oncologist, new comers will be welcomed.
