Quantum Image Analysis Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab exploring disease diagnosis from CT and MRI images.
AboutAbout the lab
Examining the inside of the body with CT and MRI images.
The lab studies diagnostic imaging using CT and MRI images.
Prof. Yabuuchi works on diagnostic imaging of breast and head and neck tumors and on developing imaging parameters that predict the early effects of chemotherapy for lung cancer.
Lecturer Kojima studies methods to improve the diagnostic accuracy of CT and MRI.
Prof. Yabuuchi and Lecturer Kojima belong to the Division of Medical Quantum Science, Department of Health Sciences, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Kyushu University, and faculty profiles are published on the division's shared website.
Key terms
- Perfusion
- Perfusion: the flow of blood through tissue. Perfusion CT and perfusion MRI image this blood flow in order to examine it
- Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI
- Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI: MRI taken over time after a contrast agent is injected. It yields images that reflect angiogenesis and vascular permeability
- Diffusion-weighted MRI
- Diffusion-weighted MRI: an MRI imaging method that yields images reflecting the cell density of a tumor
ResearchResearch themes
Prof. Yabuuchi teaches methods for analyzing perfusion, diffusion, and metabolic functions of the human body using functional CT and MRI images, and supervises research that uses those images. The lab studies diagnostic imaging of breast and head and neck tumors, prediction of the effects of chemotherapy for lung cancer, and improving the diagnostic accuracy of CT and MRI.
*Illustrative imageMRI diagnosis of breast and head and neck tumors
The lab analyzes image parameters from dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI and diffusion-weighted MRI, and examines their relationship with histopathological findings and prognosis. The targets are breast tumors and head and neck tumors.
*Illustrative imageDiagnostic performance of screening mammography
The lab studies the diagnostic performance and optimal parameters of digital mammography, monitor-based reading, and computer-aided diagnosis in screening mammography.
*Illustrative imagePredicting the effects of chemotherapy for lung cancer
The lab works on developing imaging parameters that predict early treatment response to chemotherapy for lung cancer.
*Illustrative imageImproving the diagnostic accuracy of CT and MRI
The lab studies methods to improve the diagnostic accuracy of CT and MRI, imaging devices indispensable to modern medicine. The research themes listed are CT, cardiovascular imaging, medical image analysis, and MRI.
