Director,Pediatric Radiology DepartmentTakao Hiraki
We perform computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nuclear medicine examinations for over 1,000 children per year at Okayama University Hospital. Our department takes charge of almost all examinations. Additionally, we provide radiation therapy for pediatric malignant tumors.
Pediatric radiology is a special territory among radiology fields because children require unique inspection and image interpretation methods that differ from those for adult patients. We are undertaking great efforts to reduce radiation exposure to the greatest extent possible. Physicians specializing in pediatric radiology provide appropriate and effective medical care.
