TY - JOUR PY - 1975// TI - Radiographic manifestations of Japanese acupuncture JO - Radiology A1 - Imray, T. J. A1 - Hiramatsu, Y. SP - 625 EP - 626 VL - 115 IS - 3 N2 - The radiographic manifestations of Hari, a peculiar type of acupuncture currently practiced in Japan, are described. This acupuncture method consists of inserting multiple fine gold needles through the skin into the subcutaneous tissue. The needle is cut off at the skin surface and left in the subcutaneous tissue for the life of the patient. These multiple needles present curious, frequently unsuspected findings on radiographs obtained for reasons unrelated to acupuncture.
