Haneishi Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A medical image analysis lab that images the inside of the body with light and X-rays and interprets the images computationally.
AboutAbout the lab
Reading the inside of the body with light.
The lab studies methods of imaging and measuring fine structures, constituents, and metabolism in living bodies using visible and infrared light.
It also works on combining optical measurement with measurement by larger-scale equipment such as MRI and CT.
Image reconstruction, which recreates tomographic images from a small number of images or from noisy data, is also a subject of its research.
The lab builds measurement systems using spectral cameras, Raman spectroscopy, and optical coherence tomography (OCT), and is also developing image analysis methods.
Key terms
- Spectroscopy
- Splitting light by wavelength and examining it. It can reveal the composition and oxygen state of tissue.
- Microcirculation
- The region of microvessels with diameters of 100 μm or less, where substances are exchanged between blood and tissue.
- Image reconstruction
- Computationally recreating cross-sectional images of the body from the signals acquired during imaging.

ResearchResearch themes
The lab measures the structure and metabolism of living bodies with visible and infrared light, and combines this with measurements from other equipment such as MRI and CT. Its research spans building measurement systems, image analysis, and image reconstruction.
*Illustrative imageMultimodal image analysis
To apply micro-CT, which captures internal structures in 3D at the micron scale, to pathological diagnosis, the lab is developing methods for fast imaging and noise removal. It also works on building measurement systems with spectral cameras, Raman spectroscopy, OCT, and digital microscopes, along with the associated image analysis.
*Illustrative imageAssessing organ blood flow with spectral information
In autotransplantation surgery of the digestive system, the blood flow of the organ to be resected must be known, but judging it by eye is difficult. The lab aims to estimate the oxygen saturation of tissue and evaluate blood flow quantitatively.
*Illustrative imageImaging and analysis of the microcirculation
The microcirculation is the region of thin blood vessels with diameters of 100 μm or less, where substances are exchanged between blood and tissue. By imaging and monitoring it and analyzing the video, the lab aims to contribute to health monitoring, elucidation of disease mechanisms, and investigation of drug efficacy.
*Illustrative imageVital-sign monitoring in emergency medicine
In emergency care, a patient's condition is assessed to decide the degree of life-saving intervention. Because urgency is required and the work takes place in confined spaces such as ambulances, the lab aims to contribute at the scene by developing simple, compact evaluation devices.
