School of Medicine - Clinical MedicineObstetrics and Gynecology
The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in Kanazawa Medical University was established in 1972 by Dr. Soryu Kuwabara, the first Professor and Chairman of the Department. The Professor and Chairman of the Department was succeeded by Dr. Satoru Makinoda in 1997. In Perinatology, we focus on prenatal diagnosis in cooperation with the department of Pediatric surgery and NICU, and have made achievements in fetal lung maturity diagnosis using MRI, etc. In Gynecological Oncology, advanced medical procedures such as intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and PET-CT etc. are actively innovated in cooperation with the Department of Radiology. In Reproductive Medicine, we developed a new treatment of luteinizing unruptured follicle (LUF).
