Radiology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A radiology lab that studies diagnosis and treatment using CT and MRI images.
AboutAbout the lab
Basic and clinical research on diagnostic radiology and IVR
The Radiology Lab conducts research and clinical practice in radiology, which captures information about the body as images and makes diagnoses from them.
Divided into four specialty groups (neuroradiology, breast, chest, and abdomen), the lab handles diagnostic imaging of every part of the body, from head to toe.
It also performs IVR (interventional radiology), a minimally invasive treatment that uses imaging.
In its research, the lab uses the latest multidetector CT and high-field MRI installed at Osaka University Hospital, aiming to improve diagnostic performance.
Key terms
- IVR
- Short for interventional radiology. Treatment performed using imaging that places little burden on the body
- Multidetector CT
- A CT scanner with multiple rows of detectors that can capture several cross-sectional images of the body at once
- High-field MRI
- An MRI scanner with a strong magnetic field. MRI is an examination device that uses magnetism to produce images of the inside of the body
ResearchResearch themes
The lab conducts research that captures information about the body from images such as CT and MRI, aiming to improve diagnostic performance. Its research is divided into groups for the head and musculoskeletal system, breast, chest, abdomen, and IVR, and it examines diagnostic and treatment methods that use imaging.
*Illustrative imageImaging research on the head and musculoskeletal system
The lab evaluates blood flow in cerebral aneurysms, the distribution of iron in the brain, and the pathology of schizophrenia and brain tumors using MRI and CT images. It also works on predicting the expansion of intracerebral hemorrhage and on elucidating brain function with functional MRI.
*Illustrative imageBreast cancer imaging
The lab compares breast MRI with multigene assays to examine recurrence prognosis in breast cancer and the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. It also studies prediction using artificial intelligence, dedicated breast PET, and the image quality and diagnostic performance of mammography.
*Illustrative imageChest imaging research (respiratory and cardiovascular)
In respiratory imaging, the lab studies ultra-high-resolution CT, ultra-low-dose CT, and computer-aided diagnosis using artificial intelligence. In cardiovascular imaging, it examines the heart valves, cardiac function, and coronary arteries using MRI and CT.
Abdominal imaging research
The lab studies methods for measuring liver volume and fibrosis with CT and MRI, early prediction of the effect of radiotherapy for cervical cancer, and quantitative evaluation of pancreatic tumors. It also works on reducing radiation exposure in CT and shortening MRI scan time.
