The lab uses MRI and CT to detect even small changes in the body without harming it.
AboutAbout the lab
Seeing small changes in disease without harming the body
The Biomarker Imaging Science Lab uses noninvasive imaging methods such as MRI and CT to study highly accurate methods of diagnostic imaging.
It aims to develop imaging methods that capture small lesions and early-stage changes that have been hard to detect, as well as changes in function at the cellular and molecular level.
In the lab, students sharpen their research and presentation skills at weekly journal clubs and presentation meetings, and are encouraged to present at academic conferences in Japan and abroad.
The professor in charge, Associate Professor Khin Khin Tha, is a member of the Faculty of Medicine.
Key terms
- MRI
- A device that uses a strong magnet and radio waves to produce cross-sectional images of the inside of the body. It does not use radiation.
- Noninvasive
- Examining the body without cutting or injuring it.
- Radiomics
- A method that extracts many features from medical images as numerical values and uses them to diagnose disease and predict prognosis.
ResearchResearch themes
Personalized medicine tailored to each patient, such as molecular targeted therapy and pinpoint proton beam irradiation, is attracting attention. Noninvasive imaging methods such as MRI and CT are widely used for choosing treatments, planning treatment, and predicting and assessing treatment response, and the lab studies how to make these imaging methods more precise.
*Illustrative imageHigh-Accuracy Diagnostic Imaging with the Latest MRI and CT
Using the latest MRI and CT technology, the lab develops diagnostic imaging methods with high resolution and quantitative capability, imaging methods that detect small lesions and early-stage changes without harming the body, and imaging methods that show changes in function at the cellular and molecular level. It also conducts education and research on normal imaging anatomy using these methods.
*Illustrative imageImaging Biomarkers of Neurological Disease
The lab studies noninvasive imaging markers that can accurately diagnose neurological diseases and related conditions and reflect their subsequent course. Its work includes investigating the optimal MRI acquisition conditions for detecting lesions, detecting and modeling fine early-stage changes, and searching for imaging factors that predict prognosis using radiomics.
