Diagnostic Reasoning Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A general medicine lab that reaches diagnoses from the medical history and physical examination findings.
AboutAbout the lab
Most outpatient diseases can be diagnosed from the medical history.
Diagnostic Reasoning studies general medicine, which examines undiagnosed symptoms and health problems without limiting the investigation to the organ that causes them.
It is run together with the Department of General Medicine at Chiba University Hospital, and first-visit outpatient consultations are in principle conducted as second-opinion outpatient visits.
Based on the position that most outpatient diseases can be diagnosed from the medical history, it places particular emphasis on the medical interview.
As clinical research, it has also worked on developing a large language model specialized in diagnosing diseases.
