北斗トップ > Brain Screening

Medical Examination Center

As part of our proactive effort to promote secondary preventative medicine, we offer different medical checkups including cancer screening, cardiovascular screening, comprehensive health screenings and brain screening.

Brain Screening

In recent years, the number of patients who suffer from “silent strokes,” strokes without symptoms, is increasing. If a brain disease starts because of the onset of the latent symptoms such as aneurysm, a cause of subarachnoid hemorrhage, or asymptomatic stroke it can leave the patient handicapped with paralysis of the limbs or language and speech disorders. There is no doubt that it is a dreadful disease that may be fatal in the worst case.

Periodic brain health screening enables the diagnosis of brain disease prior to the onset of symptoms and initiation of appropriate treatment. Accurate early detection and treatment of latent brain disease is crucial.
At our hospital, we offer early detection and appropriate treatment of brain disease as well as rehabilitation by medical staff with extensive clinical experience and results.
