TOMOSYNTHE SIS BREAKS NEW GROUND IN ORTHOP AEDICS

摘要

According to a study by Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, musculoskeletal pain - including lower back pain, stiff shoulders and knee and wrist pain - is the most frequently reported subjective symptom of health problems in the Japanese population. After internal medicine, the orthopaedics department is the second most in-demand department in hospitals, particularly for outpatient care.
