Department of Radiology
Outline
The puropse of our clinical study is to provide the cutting edge therapy and diagnostic information to patients by exploiting X-ray modality equipped in our institute with the best of our knowledge.
Research Outline
Imaging diagnosis
- Usefulness of diffusion MRI for diagnosing hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).
- Usefulness of dynamic MRI using liver specific contrast material(EOB) .
- Relation between washout mechanism of contrast material of HCC and thickness of pathological HCC pseudomembrane.
- Teleradiology for distant local area in Wakayama.
Interventional Radiology(IVR)
- Combination of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) with radiofreequency ablation (RFA) for HCC.
- SPECT-based three dimensional radiotherapy for HCC with portal tumor thrombus.
- Ballone occluded refrograde transvenous obliteration for gastric varices.
- Endovascular abdominal or thoracic aneurismal repair using stent graft.
- Recanalization for the occlusive iliac arteries using stent.
