Medical Physics and Engineering Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab supports treatment and diagnosis with technology for measuring radiation accurately.
AboutAbout the lab
Radiation measurement technology that is useful in the clinic.
Centering on technology for measuring radiation (radiation measurement), the lab studies new techniques used in radiation therapy and diagnosis.
Radiation measurement is a foundational technology shared not only by radiation therapy but also by radiological diagnosis and nuclear medicine.
Under the motto "research and development that is useful in the clinic," the lab works with Hokkaido University Hospital and aims to develop technologies that are actually adopted in clinical practice.
Prof. Ishikawa, who is in charge, is a faculty member of the Faculty of Health Sciences.
Key terms
- Radiation measurement
- Accurately measuring the amount and spread of radiation using instruments.
- Medical physics
- A field that applies knowledge of physics and engineering to medicine. It supports radiation therapy planning and equipment quality control.
- Nuclear medicine
- A medical field in which radioactive drugs are introduced into the body and organ function is examined from the radiation they emit.
ResearchResearch themes
In Japan, medical physics, which is indispensable for radiation therapy, has not yet fully developed compared with other countries. Centering on the development of measurement technology for radiation therapy, and including measurements in diagnosis, the lab researches new technologies in radiation medicine.

The lab researches radiation measurement, a foundational technology shared by radiation therapy, radiological diagnosis, and nuclear medicine. In collaboration with Hokkaido University Hospital, it aims to develop technologies that are useful in the clinic.
*Illustrative imageBringing Measurement Technology for Treatment and Diagnosis to Products
The lab mainly develops measurement technology for radiation therapy, and also studies measurements in radiological diagnosis. Rather than stopping at laboratory studies, it looks ahead to commercialization through joint development with companies, aiming for technologies that are adopted in clinical practice.
