Outline Activities
1) Education
To students: teaching the fundamentals of nuclear medicine examination, method and features and findings of examination images To the resident doctor: teaching implementation and diagnosis of nuclear medical examination, understanding treatment methods in RI internal therapy, specific treatment and the way to explanation to patients / families. To the medical staff: instructed on basic knowledge of nuclear medicine examination and RI internal medicine therapy, and educates knowledge on examination, treatment, and disease.

2) Medical treatment
I engage in nuclear medicine diagnosis and treatment at Kyushu University Hospital. - diagnosis, explanation of results about examination - 131 I Iodine treatment for differentiated thyroid cancer and hyperthyroidism - RI-labeled CD20 antibody therapy for low-grade malignant lymphoma - strontium 89 treatment for pain of multiple bone metastases - Ra-223 treatment for castration-resistant prostate cancer bone metastasis

3) Research
I am conducting research on the examination of bone tumors (mainly bone metastasis of the prostate cancer) using 18F-NaF PET.
