AboutAbout the lab
Research and education in nuclear medicine and radiation oncology
The Quantum Functional Therapeutic Science Lab belongs to the Division of Medical Quantum Science in the Department of Health Sciences, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Kyushu University, and conducts research in nuclear medicine and radiation oncology.
Building on medical physics and radiological technology, the division covers a wide range of topics, including medical image analysis, diagnostic imaging, radiation therapy, and radiation protection and measurement.
Professor Shingo Baba specializes in nuclear medicine, and Associate Professor Kazushige Atsumi specializes in radiation oncology.
The division offers a Medical Quantum Science Data Scientist Course, and one aim of the master's program is to train medical physicists.
Key terms
- Medical Quantum Science Data Scientist
- A person who can use data-driven techniques to address clinical problems in diagnostic imaging, nuclear medicine, and radiation therapy.
- Medical physicist
- A certification for working in radiation therapy and diagnosis. Holding it widens the range of work you can take on after employment.

ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies how to improve the quantitative accuracy of nuclear medicine images, and also studies cancer treatment using radiation. Professor Baba covers clinical nuclear medicine and nuclear medicine technology in general, and Associate Professor Atsumi covers radiation oncology and therapeutics in general.
*Illustrative imageStable production of gallium-68 radiopharmaceuticals
The lab studies methods for stably producing radiopharmaceuticals labeled with gallium-68 using a cyclotron. Its research keywords also include in-hospital production and PET.
*Illustrative imageDose estimation for Lu-177 therapy
The lab works on dose estimation for Lu-177-DOTATATE therapy. It examines how the absorbed dose differs depending on the images used.
*Illustrative imageEvaluating PET image quality with machine learning
The lab evaluates PET image quality for TOF correction that uses machine learning. It also studies how to improve the quantitative accuracy of PET/CT.
*Illustrative imageRadiation oncology and radiation therapy
The lab covers radiation oncology and therapeutics in general, working on stereotactic radiotherapy, intensity-modulated radiotherapy, image-guided brachytherapy, adaptive radiotherapy, and more.
