Brain docks and forgetful docks

　The Stroke and Neurospinal Center, as a specialized hospital for cerebrovascular disease, is engaged in early treatment and consistent rehabilitation, and is committed to promptly recovering patients' function and returning to society. Furthermore, based on that knowledge and achievements, we detect in advance the initial symptoms of lesions and dementia that lead to cerebrovascular disease, and conduct brain docks and forgetful docks that provide guidance on how to deal with them.
　The brain dock at our center focuses on the latest diagnostic imaging such as high-performance MRI and MRA (brain and cerebrovascular test equipment using magnetism), and also performs blood and urine tests, electrocardiograms, ultrasound, etc.
　MRI and MRA can detect small cerebral infarction without symptoms, cerebrovascular stenosis and obstruction that may cause major cerebral infarction in the future, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral aneurysm, and early cerebral tumors that may cause subarachnoid hemorrhage. You.
　Blood and urine tests check for risk factors for stroke, such as diabetes, gout, and hypercholesterolemia, ultrasound tests for arteriosclerosis of carotid artery, and electrocardiograms for cardiac hypertrophy and arrhythmia.
　In forgetful docks, in addition to the latest diagnostic imaging such as high-performance MRI and MRA (brain / cerebrovascular test device using magnetism), blood tests and psychological tests are also performed, and dementia specialists and certified psychologists are appropriate diagnosis and advice. I will do it.

　If you are worried about cerebrovascular disease or want to know how to prevent it, please use it.
　If you already have symptoms, please consult a general outpatient clinic.

1. MRI examinations are performed using strong magnetism, so those who are in the early stages of pregnancy (including those who are likely) and those who use artificial organs such as cardiac pacemakers and cochlear implants cannot perform MRI examinations. In addition, MRI may not be possible if metal is contained in the body due to surgery.
   In such a case, please check with the doctor (hospital) who performed the operation in advance and let us know in advance. The body metals that require special attention are as follows.
   [Inspection not possible]
   Cardiac pacemaker, embedded defibrillator, cochlear implant, variable shunt valve
   The bottom of the metal (metal in the orbit) ※Please remove it before the inspection.
   [Confirmation required]
   Artificial heart valves, cerebral aneurysm hemostasis clips, vascular stents, shunt devices for the treatment of hydrocephalycephaly, artificial joints, portable magnetic Attachment (removable dentures using magnets), other metals and magnetic substances
2. If you bring a magnetic card such as a cash card, clock, mobile phone, etc. into the laboratory, it may be broken due to strong magnetic effects and cannot be used. Please don't bring these things in. The details are as follows.
   Dentures (magnetic attachment dentures, etc.), glasses / contact lenses, hearing aids, magnetic cards / wallets / mobile phones, Cairo / compress / magnetic therapy devices, rings, clocks, wigs / hairpins / headbands, clothes fittings / buttons, earrings / earrings / necklaces, belts, orthoses, talismans, etc.
3. Some eye shadows and tattoos contain metal components, and caution is required for MRI examinations. Remove makeup such as eye shadows before inspection, as it may cause burns.
