Diagnostic Radiology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A diagnostic radiology lab that diagnoses and treats disease through imaging and IVR.
AboutAbout the lab
Diagnosing disease with images and treating it gently on the body
The Diagnostic Radiology lab handles diagnostic imaging performed in the hospital, as well as IVR (interventional radiology, or image-guided treatment), in which thin needles or catheters are inserted into the body under image guidance to treat disease.
Diagnostic radiologists also act as specialists who "read" (interpret) images obtained from CT, MRI, nuclear medicine, and PET examinations and make medical diagnoses.
The lab has specialists by organ system, such as neuroradiology, chest, abdominal, and cardiovascular imaging, and by examination method, and it also works on the use of AI and on cutting-edge nuclear medicine research.
On the lab's website, it is presented as the Department of Diagnostic Radiology at Tohoku University Hospital.
Key terms
- IVR
- Treatment in which a thin needle or catheter is inserted into the body under image guidance to treat disease without surgery. Also called image-guided therapy
- Nuclear medicine
- A somewhat specialized field of diagnostic imaging that uses radioisotopes. Handling them requires specialized knowledge
- PET
- A type of examination that uses radioisotopes. Short for positron emission tomography (also called positron CT)
ResearchResearch themes
As the department responsible for diagnostic imaging and IVR, the lab conducts research on imaging of the nervous system, cardiovascular system, breast, respiratory system, and nuclear medicine, and develops new medical devices. Diagnostic imaging is highly compatible with AI, so the lab uses AI to improve images and assist interpretation, and develops these tools in collaboration with labs in the Department of Health Sciences.
*Illustrative imageClinical research in neuroradiology
The lab sees abundant cases of neurological disease, such as those from neurosurgery, epilepsy, neurology, and dementia care, and conducts clinical research centered on MRI.
*Illustrative imageCardiovascular imaging research
Working closely with cardiology and cardiac surgery, the lab conducts advanced research on cardiac CT and MRI, making use of industry-academia collaboration.
*Illustrative imageBreast imaging and its applications
The lab works on mathematical analysis of MRI and ultrasound, and on analysis using AI. It is also advancing research that applies these methods to diseases in urology and gynecology.
*Illustrative imageRespiratory imaging research
The lab analyzes imaging of diffuse lung disease in collaboration with mathematical sciences researchers at Tohoku University.
