Summary

The HIMEDIC Imaging Center at Lake Yamanaka has proved successful because of the membership system and the high ability of our system to diagnose adult diseases. In particular, FDG PET is a powerful screening test for the early detection of malignant diseases.

Overall uptime of our PET system was about 92%, and we are very satisfied with this figure. Our next aim is to collect age-matched normal data regarding cerebral blood flow and metabolism, myocardial perfusion and metabolism, and distribution of FDG in the various organs. These data will contribute to the future practice of clinical PET.
