Image Analysis Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that reads the inside of the body through nuclear medicine, PET, and postmortem imaging.
AboutAbout the lab
Turning the body's function into images with nuclear medicine and PET
The Image Analysis Lab studies diagnostic imaging with nuclear medicine and PET, which use radiopharmaceuticals, as well as postmortem imaging.
Although nuclear medicine and PET have lower resolution than CT or MRI images, they provide "molecular imaging" information such as function and metabolism.
The lab aims to develop radiological technologists who can lead nuclear medicine and PET research in Japan and abroad as scientists and educators.
For nuclear medicine and PET, the lab works with the Department of Radiology at Tohoku University Hospital and the Advanced Quantum Beam Science Research Center; for postmortem imaging, it works with the Autopsy Imaging Center of the Graduate School of Medicine.
Key terms
- Nuclear medicine
- A diagnostic field that uses radiopharmaceuticals to produce images of the body's function and metabolism.
- Molecular imaging
- A technology that captures not shape but the body's workings, such as function and metabolism, as images.
- Postmortem imaging
- Diagnosis in which the body of a deceased person is scanned with CT or other methods and its condition is examined from the images.
