Kamishima Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab uses X-ray, ultrasound, and MRI images to capture changes in rheumatoid arthritis as numerical values.
AboutAbout the lab
Drawing clinically useful information out of images.
The Kamishima Lab studies diagnostic imaging, which diagnoses disease from images such as X-ray radiographs, ultrasound, CT, and MRI.
The lab aims to extract clinically useful information from images as objectively and efficiently as possible.
Using multiple imaging modalities, it works on numerically evaluating inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis and the changes by which bones and joints are destroyed.
The lab carries out its research in collaboration with physicians and radiological technologists inside and outside the university, as well as researchers in medical physics and engineering.
Key terms
- Diagnostic imaging
- Producing images of the inside of the body with X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound, and other modalities to judge whether a disease is present and how far it has spread
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- A disease in which inflammation continues in the joints and bone and cartilage are destroyed. It tends to occur in the small joints of the hands and feet.
- Phantom
- A model that mimics the human body or tissue, used to verify imaging equipment and analysis methods
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies diagnostic imaging using X-ray radiographs, ultrasound, CT, MRI, and other modalities, with a particular focus on diagnostic imaging of rheumatoid arthritis. It aims to develop methods that efficiently detect lesions with examinations that place as little burden on the body as possible and yield numerical values with little ambiguity.
*Illustrative imageAutomatically capturing bone changes from X-ray radiographs
This research uses specially developed software to extract bone lesions from X-ray radiographs. Together with the university's Research Center for Integrated Quantum Electronics, the lab is developing a system that automatically detects the narrowing of joint spaces in rheumatoid arthritis.
*Illustrative imageQuantitative analysis with ultrasound
The lab studies methods for numerically analyzing ultrasound images, using a phantom that mimics capillary vessels.
*Illustrative imageEvaluating joints with whole-body MRI
The lab conducts research on evaluating the condition of joints using MRI that images the whole body.
