Radiology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A dental radiology lab that diagnoses diseases of the head and neck with MRI and ultrasound and treats them with radiation.
AboutAbout the lab
Diagnosing with images, treating with radiation.
The lab conducts clinical and basic research on diagnostic imaging and radiation therapy for the head and neck region.
Using MRI, CT, ultrasonography, and salivary gland scintigraphy, it works to improve the ability to diagnose diseases such as tumors and inflammation.
Drawing on dental techniques, the lab also studies how to deliver radiation more precisely and protect normal tissue from radiation damage.
The lab incorporates active learning into radiology education for students and residents.
Key terms
- Salivary gland scintigraphy
- A test in which a radioactive drug is injected and its accumulation in the salivary glands is imaged to examine tumors and inflammation
- MDCT
- Multidetector CT, a CT scanner with many rows of detectors that can capture detailed cross-sectional images in a short time
- Doppler method
- A method that images the flow of blood from the change in frequency of ultrasound waves as they bounce back
ResearchResearch themes
The lab conducts clinical and basic research on diagnostic imaging of the head and neck and on radiation therapy for the head and neck. It also works to explore and put into practice efficient radiology education for students and residents.
*Illustrative imageDiagnosing the head and neck with MRI and CT
Using MRI scanners and multidetector CT (MDCT), the lab analyzes the condition of head and neck tumors, metabolic diseases, and inflammatory lesions.
*Illustrative imageImproving the diagnostic power of ultrasonography
Taking advantage of the strengths of ultrasonography, which is easy to use, involves no radiation exposure, and can also display blood flow with the Doppler method, the lab aims to improve diagnostic ability. It also studies diagnosis using probes inserted into the mouth and the overlaying of ultrasound and CT images.
*Illustrative imageSalivary gland scintigraphy
The lab diagnoses tumors and inflammation with salivary gland scintigraphy and compares the results with diagnosis by ultrasound.
*Illustrative imageRadiation therapy for head and neck cancer
Applying dental techniques, the lab studies how to deliver radiation to malignant head and neck tumors more precisely and prevent radiation damage to normal tissue. Salivary gland damage after radiation therapy is also evaluated with a test that examines saliva secretion.
MembersFaculty
Faculty of the lab also provide clinical care in diagnostic imaging and radiation therapy at the Department of Dental Radiology, Hokkaido University Hospital.
