An atlas of SPECT images with Technegas

The Japanese Experience

The following case studies have been extracted from an atlas edited by the late Professor Kenji Kawakami of Jikei University Hospital and published by Mitsui & Co, Tokyo, Japan.   The original book was produced for the Japanese Nuclear Medical community, but an English translation of the text has been very kindly made by Dr Toyoharu Isawa, Director of the Yokohama Higashi National Hospital, Nagano Japan for this presentation.  The holders of the copyright, Mitsui & Co Ltd,  have consented to this presentation in the interests of furthering education about the SPECT imaging process and how it enhances lung ventilation diagnosis with Technegas.

These case studies are dedicated to the memory of "Ken" Kawakami, who was instrumental in exploring the full potential of clinical Technegas applications in Japan.
