Clinical Radiology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A radiology lab that covers both diagnostic imaging and radiation therapy in a single department.
AboutAbout the lab
Diagnostic imaging and radiation therapy, together in one department
The Clinical Radiology Lab is the radiology department of the Faculty of Medical Sciences at Kyushu University, and it runs the two fields of diagnostic imaging and radiation therapy together.
The department also performs endoscopic diagnosis and treatment.
The department has groups for neuroradiology, chest, abdomen, gastrointestinal, therapy, nuclear medicine, and IVR (interventional radiology), organized by organ and by examination method.
The professor regards one of the appeals of radiology as the opportunity to do clinical work and research while being among the first to experience advances in medical technology.
Key terms
- Diagnostic imaging
- Medical practice that investigates disease using images such as CT and MRI. In the professor's introduction, it is one of the two major fields of radiology
- Nuclear medicine
- Examinations performed by injecting radionuclides. Physicians interpret the images that are captured to make a diagnosis

ResearchResearch themes
Radiology is broadly divided into two fields: diagnostic imaging and radiation therapy. In this lab, diagnostic radiologists and radiation oncologists run the department together and pursue both clinical work and research.
*Illustrative imageDiagnostic imaging of the abdomen
Centered on CT and MRI diagnosis of the abdomen and pelvis, the lab studies diagnostic imaging of diseases of the liver, bile ducts, and pancreas. It also investigates analysis of pathology based on vascular anatomy and imaging diagnosis of anatomical variations and anomalies.
*Illustrative imagePET imaging of bone tumors
Using 18F-NaF PET, the lab studies examination of bone tumors, mainly bone metastases of prostate cancer. It investigates analysis of how the tracer is distributed in the body, methods for predicting treatment effects before treatment and assessing them afterward, and the usefulness of the technique for evaluating bone blood flow.
*Illustrative imageFDG uptake in the myocardium after transplantation
The lab examines FDG uptake in the left ventricular myocardium after heart transplantation and studies its relationship to myocardial rejection and myocardial inflammation.
MembersFaculty
The members of the Clinical Radiology Lab consist of the neuroradiology, chest, abdomen, gastrointestinal, therapy, nuclear medicine, and IVR groups, the staff of the endowed department, and residents.As of 2026
