Facilities at Our Clinic
-
Angiography Device
An angiography machine can check blood vessels, and is used to perform each of our treatments (Cellgel method, Hybrid Laser method, PODD method, and PLDD method) by viewing the patient's body in real time through a fluoroscope and checking every detail on a monitor. Our clinic has brought in the latest model from the largest manufacturer in Japan.
-
Radiography Device (X-ray)
The X-ray is used mainly to check the condition of the bones of the patient's back to hips. Meanwhile, we ask our affiliated clinic to perform MRI examinations. MRI is ideal for checking the condition of cartilage areas such as intervertebral discs and joints, as well as non-bone areas such as ligaments and nerves. By using X-rays for bones and MRI for other parts of the body, it is possible to make an accurate, thorough diagnosis.
