Examination and 3D image reconstruction in cases of pediatric congenital heart disease using 3-dimensional electron beam computed tomography angiography (3D-EBCTA). Its diagnostic rate is almost 100% for congenital heart disease, and therefore serves as an important aid to cardiac surgery.
In cooperation with the Division of Neurology, Department of Internal Medicine, and Surgery, performed the first MRI-guided 3D fixed position D.B.S (deep brain stimulation) and MRI-guided subthalamotomy to successfully cure severe Parkinson's disease.
Performed the first GDC embolization for treating cerebral artery aneurysm in 1996. The department became the only medical service to provide aneurysm embolization training. GDC training courses are held annually.
Study of spinal cord perfusion with MRI and MRS.
Reveal the orientation of white matter fiber tracts using D.T.S. (Diffusion Tensor Spectrum) and further analyze the complex structure of cerebral white matter.
Study of post-coronary artery bypass graft obstruction and cardiac fiber destruction and reconstruction using D.T.S (Diffusion Tensor Spectrum) imaging. Cardiac muscle strain of the left ventricle during diastole is also evaluated using MRI.
Performed the first and second infra-renal aneurysm stent-graft operation in the nation, in cooperatation with the Cardiac Surgery Department.
Performed the first biliary stent-graft surgery in the nation.
