Our research policy aims to bridge clinical challenges with advancements in imaging diagnostic technology. This approach is grounded in fundamental and clinical research themes arising from daily clinical practice, with a vision towards the future of medical care.
Main Research Themes:
- Development of diagnostic imaging technology using artificial intelligence
- Establishment of optimal imaging parameters for digital PET/CT
- Development of MRI techniques for evaluating glucose, amino acid, and phosphorus metabolism, as well as oxygen and pH environments
- Establishment of functional and metabolic imaging techniques for predicting cancer treatment response and prognosis
- Establishment of early imaging diagnostic methods for pancreatic cancer and development of screening protocols based on cancer risk identification
- Development of rate constant imaging techniques with FDG PET/CT for predicting the proliferation of malignant tumors
- Establishment of comprehensive diagnostic strategies using CT, MRI, and nuclear medicine for cerebral circulation and myocardial blood flow
- Elucidation of diffuse liver diseases and establishment of morphological and functional metabolic imaging techniques for predicting liver function
