Medical Imaging Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A biomedical optical measurement lab that measures and images living tissue with light.
AboutAbout the lab
Visualizing your body.
The Medical Imaging Lab researches biomedical optical measurement, centered on technologies such as optical coherence tomography.
It started in 1999 as a research group within the Applied Optics Lab, decided in 2002 to make biomedical optical measurement its central research theme, and became an independent research group in 2007.
A 2017 introduction of the lab also lists ophthalmic imaging, skin imaging, and 3D polarization microscopy as research areas.
On the lab's website, it is presented under the name "Computational Optics Group."
Key terms
- Optical coherence tomography
- Abbreviated OCT. A technique that uses light to capture cross-sectional images (tomograms) of the inside of living tissue
- Jones matrix
- A matrix usually learned as describing the polarization properties of a material, but which in fact represents all of the optical properties of the material
- JM-OCT
- An interferometer that extends and improves Fourier-domain OCT to measure the three-dimensional distribution of the Jones matrix of tissue
NewsLab news
A doctoral student published a paper on a DOCT method that visualizes the speed and amount of motion inside cells
Associate Professor Shuichi Makita published a paper on a theory for correcting OCT aberrations to image cells in the eye
A collaborator published a paper on evaluating retinal abnormalities using AI-synthesized polarization images
A collaborator published a paper on an imaging theory that describes microscopy and OCT in a unified way
A master's student published a paper on a simulation framework for dynamic OCT
ResearchResearch themes
The lab's research page from around 2017 presents research centered on a technique called Jones matrix tomography. It explains that, as OCT developed with expanded functions, the research group played a central role in creating a theory that unifies them. Member profiles and news also introduce research on dynamic OCT, which visualizes motion inside cells and tissues.
