Treatment details
From the ears, nose, and throat,
Improve your performance every day.
Problems in the ear, nose, and throat area can subtly impair concentration and judgment, impacting the quality of work and life, and ultimately, daily performance.
We value medical care that focuses not only on the visible improvement of symptoms, but also on the "changes in daily life" that lie beyond that.
CT scan
We can take the photos on the same day you come to the clinic.
We have introduced an ENT CT scanner that allows for easy imaging while the patient is seated.
CT scans can be performed on the same day you visit the clinic. This saves you the time and effort of having to go to the hospital for a CT scan.
It excels at extracting fine bones from areas like the ears and nose, allowing us to obtain information as detailed as tens of microns.
Characteristics of the test
● Tests with low radiation exposure
When comparing the radiation dose with that of a typical CT scan using the CTD/w value, the effective dose is less than one-seventh*.
The radiation exposure is about the same as from a simple chest X-ray.
※Based on actual measurements by Morita Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
● Shooting time is approximately 20 seconds
Please sit in the chair; the actual filming time will be approximately 20 seconds.
This diagnostic system allows for immediate diagnosis on the spot, aiming to reduce the burden on patients' valuable time.
● High-resolution images are obtained, leading to more accurate diagnoses.
Compared to conventional CT scans, it can acquire ultra-high-resolution images without distortion.
Fiber optic nasopharyngeal videoscope
This provides clear images, leading to more accurate diagnoses.
By using a fiberscope, we can thoroughly examine areas that are not directly visible, such as the back of the nose and throat. The videoscope is extremely thin, with a diameter of 2.6 mm, and is flexible, so you can undergo the examination with almost no discomfort.
The videoscope we use at our hospital is capable of NBI (Narrow Band Imaging) observation. When viewing lesions with NBI, the capillaries and fine patterns of the mucosal surface are highlighted as differences in color, making it relatively easy to diagnose early-stage cancers of the nose, sinuses, pharynx, and larynx.
I can explain while showing you the images I've taken.
Allergy testing
View 39
A single blood test can reveal the causes of 39 different allergies.
We offer "View39," a blood test that can detect 39 types of allergens that commonly cause allergic reactions with a single blood sample. It is a useful allergen screening test. The test costs approximately 6,000 yen for those with 30% co-payment, plus separate consultation fees. Please feel free to contact us if you are interested.
39 measurable items
● Inhalants and other allergens (19 items)
House dust mites, house dust 1, cat dander, dog dander, moths, cockroaches, cedar, cypress, alder (genus), birch (genus), orchard grass, timothy grass, ragweed, mugwort, Alternaria (sooty mold), Aspergillus (koji mold), Candida, Malassezia (genus), latex
● Food allergens (20 items)
Egg whites, ovomucoid, milk, wheat, peanuts, soybeans, rice, sesame, buckwheat, shrimp, crab, kiwi, apple, banana, tuna, salmon, mackerel, beef, chicken, pork
Immunocap Allergen 8
This test can be used even on young children and identifies eight types of allergens.
Similar to blood glucose tests for diabetes, this test can be performed with a small amount of blood drawn from a fingertip.
Please feel free to contact us for advice.
8 measurable items
House dust mites, cat dander, dog dander, white birch (genus), mugwort, timothy grass, ragweed, cedar
Allergen immunotherapy (sublingual immunotherapy)
Treatment methods for cedar pollen allergy and dust mite allergic rhinitis
We can also initiate or continue immunotherapy for cedar pollen and dust mites.
Biological drugs
For those who have not achieved sufficient results with conventional treatments
In recent years, a type of therapeutic drug called a "biological agent" has been attracting attention in the field of otolaryngology. This treatment targets only specific areas involved in inflammation and allergic reactions, and is characterized by its high efficacy and reduced side effects.
However, since the cost is high and there are specific conditions for its use, please contact us if you wish to proceed.
Our clinic offers treatments for eosinophilic sinusitis and severe cedar pollen allergy. We propose these treatments as a new option for patients who have not achieved sufficient results with conventional treatments.
Bad breath test (Oral Chroma)
We will diagnose the cause of pathological bad breath and guide you towards treatment.
We collect exhaled breath using a syringe and measure three main causes of bad breath: hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercapran, and dimethyl sulfide.
By detecting pathological bad breath, we can infer not only dental causes but also ENT and internal medicine causes.
At our clinic, we aim to identify and treat nasal and throat disorders based on the presence of bad breath.
Furthermore, through collaboration between clinics, we can guide you to the appropriate medical department for your treatment.

Infectious disease testing equipment (Fuji Drychem IMMUNO AG2)
This test determines the antigens of infectious viruses.
It can test for antigens of influenza, coronavirus, adenovirus, and other viruses.
By applying silver amplification technology from photographic film, this highly sensitive detection technology enables more accurate diagnosis even in the early stages of the disease when the amount of antigen is low, allowing for treatment before symptoms progress.
Nebulizer
The medication is delivered to the affected area in a mist form.
This inhaler atomizes liquid medication into a fine mist, delivering it directly to the trachea, lungs, and the back of the nose. It is used to treat asthma, bronchitis, sinusitis, and other related conditions.
Microscopes are invaluable for observing and treating the inside of the ear.
It allows for magnification and detailed observation of the inside of the ear.
Hearing test
We diagnose various hearing disorders and measure the effectiveness of treatments.
We conduct hearing tests for all types of hearing disorders, including sudden hearing loss, Meniere's disease, and age-related hearing loss.
The test results data is accumulated and can be compared with previous data for review.
Infrared camera
We diagnose dizziness by observing eye movements.
People experiencing dizziness exhibit characteristic eye movements. Therefore, observing eye movements helps diagnose the type and severity of dizziness.
Infrared cameras can capture even very subtle eye movements in dark environments where eye movements are easily obscured, enabling more accurate dizziness diagnosis.
