Cyclotron Nuclear Medicine Lab (Center for Advanced Quantum Beam Science)
Machine-translated · View original
A molecular imaging lab that uses PET to study the movement of molecules in the living body.
AboutAbout the lab
Watching molecules move inside the living body.
The Cyclotron Nuclear Medicine lab studies molecular imaging, which observes the behavior of molecules in a living body from outside the body while it is alive.
Molecular imaging is a new interdisciplinary field at the boundary of medicine, engineering, biomedical engineering, and pharmaceutical sciences, and it uses methods such as positron emission tomography (PET).
The lab is located in the Cyclotron and Radioisotope Center, where it runs the university's shared-use system while mainly carrying out clinical research using PET.
As a cooperating division of the Graduate School of Medicine, it is also the site of the Molecular Imaging education course.
Key terms
- Positron emission tomography (PET)
- One of the representative methods of molecular imaging. It is widely used in imaging research of the brain, heart, cancer, muscle, and more
- Cyclotron
- A device that accelerates particles. The lab runs the university's shared-use system for its medical use and for PET
- Science visualization
- Technology that makes information handled in scientific activities visible through images, illustrations, computer graphics, and other means
