Molecular Imaging and Diagnostics Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab studies imaging technologies such as CT and MRI as well as contrast agents, aiming to achieve molecular imaging.
AboutAbout the lab
Aiming for safe, high-precision molecular imaging.
The lab works on research and development of imaging technologies such as CT, MRI, and PET, and of contrast agents and how to use them.
It was established in April 2010 as an endowed department funded by donations.
Molecular imaging is a technology that turns life phenomena inside the body into images and analyzes them at the molecular and cellular level, without burdening patients.
Currently, using equipment such as a 256-slice multidetector CT and a 3-tesla high-field MRI, the lab mainly studies cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure and congenital heart disease.
