Mikame Hospital
About
Located in Seiyo City, Ehime Prefecture, Mikane Hospital is an internal medicine specialist facility with English language support. Business hours are from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM to 5:30 PM, with the hospital closed on Sundays and holidays. This medical facility has introduced the latest medical equipment, and is conducting noteworthy initiatives particularly in large intestine precision examinations. The 3D-CTC examination is a new method for observing the large intestine through CT scanning without inserting an endoscope; compared to endoscopic examinations, laxative dosage is less than half, and the procedure takes approximately 15 minutes, making it suitable as a secondary examination for those with positive fecal occult blood tests. To support such advanced examinations, the facility has introduced Fujifilm's 1.5 tesla superconducting MRI system "ECHELON Smart ZeroHelium," whole-body X-ray CT diagnostic equipment "Supria Optica," and endoscopy system "ELUXEO 8000." The MRI achieves a complete zero-helium system that uses no liquid helium whatsoever, aiming to shorten imaging time and improve image quality through high-speed imaging technology and AI-based noise reduction. The CT utilizes AI technology for image processing, capturing 64 cross-sections simultaneously to shorten imaging time, reduce breath-holding burden, and enable acquisition of high-quality images with suppressed radiation exposure. Additionally, the facility provides parking and barrier-free accessibility, creating an easily accessible environment.
