The Image Informatics lab studies technologies for computer processing of the images used in medical and clinical settings (medical images). Great expectations are placed on information processing technologies that extract important information from huge numbers of images and present it clearly, and that combine multiple sources of information to create new image information. Its research themes are diffusion MRI, which captures the movement of water molecules in living tissue, and the modeling of human anatomical structures and the simulation of physiological phenomena. The lab's motto is to 'become an expert in image information in medical and clinical settings,' and it says it also wants to actively carry out joint research with companies and medical institutions.
