Health checkup course for foreigners (2days: including PET) (Kanazawa Medical University Hospital)

● Early detection of cancers in various organs using the latest medical equipment.
● In a beautiful natural environment, we help you refresh both body and mind and support a healthier lifestyle.

We provide health checkups supported by specialist physicians and professional staff, using the latest diagnostic technologies and advanced medical equipment to help protect your health.

PET-CT is a hybrid imaging system that combines PET, which detects the metabolic activity of cancer through differences in color intensity, with CT, which identifies structural abnormalities caused by tumors.
This system enables a full-body examination in a single scan and is highly effective for the early detection of various cancers.

In addition, the facility offers beautiful views of the Sea of Japan below and the Japanese Alps, including Mt. Hakusan and Mt. Tateyama, in the distance. Visitors can experience Japan’s rich natural scenery, history, and cuisine.
