Economic scale of radioisotopes (RI) in Japan is studied in the field of medicine, agriculture and a part of industry. (1) RI is used during medical examination with economic scale by 1.7M (million) dollars in 1997 and 0.4M dollars in 2005. (2) Economic scale of RI utilization in agriculture is 4M dollars for R&D, 127M dollars for environmental protection and 1M dollars for chronology. A total sum is 132M dollars for 2005 and 24M dollars for 1997. RI usage in agriculture is increased 5 times due to needs at environmental technology lasted after the Kyoto protocol. (3) Indirect economic scale of RI ($$^{85}$$Kr, $$^{147}$$Pm, $$^{90}$$Cr) usage in paper fabrication field in Japan for 2006 is 8,432M dollars.

Application of radiation in nuclear medicine, charged particle therapy and BNCT in Japan

Yanagisawa, Kazuaki; Inoue, Tomio*; Hayakawa, Kazushige*; Shiotari, Harutaka*; Nakamura, Yoshihide*; Matsuyama, Kazuya*; Nagasawa, Kiyoshi*

Proceedings of 4th International Symposium on Radiation Education (ISRE 2008), p.3_16 - 3_20, 2008/12

The economic scale of radiological technologies applied to medical reimbursement is 14 billion dollars in 2005, which is larger by a factor of 17% than that of 1997. The value corresponds to about 4 to 8% (4.4% for medicine and 0.4% for dentistry) of the national health expenditure (301 billion dollars). The economic scale of radiation application at FDGPET and the charged particle therapy is 74 million dollars and 24 million dollars in 2005. In 1997 it was only 2 million dollars for the former and zero for the latter. The radiation technologies in these fields are rapidly developing. FDGPET enhanced the survival of 50,558 patients. Charged particle therapy enhanced the survival of 927 patients at 4 specified hospitals and 5,229 patients at the Proton Medical Research Center University of Tsukuba. Radiological technology is quite beneficial for the improvement of Japanese people's quality of life (QOL).

Application of radiological technology to medical device advancements in Japan

Yanagisawa, Kazuaki; Inoue, Tomio*; Hayakawa, Kazushige*; Shiotari, Harutaka*; Nakamura, Yoshihide*; Matsuyama, Kazuya*; Nagasawa, Kiyoshi*

no journal, , 

Our economic study performed in 1997 revealed that the use of radiological technology in medicine was tended to spread. A reimbursement of medicine was about 10 billion dollars corresponding to about 4% of the national health expenditures (240 billion dollars) or to an average expenditure of 1,900 dollars a year for the Japanese. In 2005 it was about 13 billion dollars. An increasing rate was 17%. One of main cause of this increase is a significant advancement of medical devices represented by digital-X ray, multi-slice CT, PET and PET-CT.

The economic scale of radiological technology in medicine/dentistry in 2005 was about 13 billion dollars. Economic scale of medical/dental cares in 2005 was large to the magnitude of 17% than that in 1997. It is worthy of mentioning that almost radiological items used in medical/dental cares were increased except a radioisotope examination in medical care. Namely, radioisotope examination was 1.7 million dollars in 1997 but was 0.4 million dollars in 2005. No radioisotopes were used in the examination of dentist.

For Japan, application of radiation in nuclear medicine is prominently used for the diagnosis, the radiotherapy and the examination by radioisotopes (RI). They addressed to FDG-PET, charged particle therapy and BNCT at the specified hospitals. Incomes are reimbursed by a national health insurance. In 2005, reimbursed incomes at those hospitals were studied as an economic scale as a commissioned work from the Cabinet Office, Government of Japan. Results were directly compared with those from previous work done in 1997. The economic scale of the application of radiation to all medical reimbursement in our country is 14 billion dollars, which is larger by a factor of 17% than that of 1997. The value corresponds to about 4.8% of the national health expenditure (301billion dollars), consisting of 4.4% for medicine and 0.4% for dentistry.
