His Majesty the Emperor received an MRI examination on the 6th, as there was a tendency to be a little concerned about the numbers related to the prostate.
Around 9:30 am on the 6th, His Majesty the Emperor arrived at the University of Tokyo Hospital in Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo.
According to the Imperial Household Agency, His Majesty the Emperor's blood test results so far show that the level of a protein secreted by the prostate called PSA is slightly higher than normal, and there is a tendency to be somewhat concerned.
For this reason, on the 6th, I was able to undergo an MRI examination among the examinations to check for any disease in the prostate.
After the examination, Emperor Akihito left the hospital by car just after 1:00 p.m. and bowed with a smile as he passed the gate.
He was then returned to his imperial residence.
The Imperial Household Agency will publish the test results, and after considering the results, it will decide to conduct more detailed tests such as tissue tests.
