The lab studies ultrasound therapy that treats affected areas without bleeding.
AboutAbout the lab
Ultrasound therapy that is gentle on the body
The Yoshizawa Lab studies how to treat cancer and other conditions by focusing ultrasound energy on the affected area.
In medicine, ultrasound is widely used to take images of internal organs and to examine blood flow.
Because ultrasound therapy can treat the affected area without bleeding, it is gentle on the body and is attracting attention as a method that meets the needs of an aging society.
The lab accepts graduate students from the Graduate School of Engineering and the Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering.
Key terms
- Ultrasound
- Sound at a high frequency that human ears cannot hear. In medicine, it is used for imaging, for observing blood flow, and for treatment
- Imaging technology
- Technology that captures parts that cannot be seen, for example as images. In treatment, it is used to capture the position of the affected area and changes in it
- Sensitizer
- A substance that readily accumulates in the affected area and makes it possible to achieve a therapeutic effect with less ultrasound energy
