Imaging techniques such as Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) have become indispensable tools in diagnosing a variety of diseases. Our laboratory is dedicated to developing in vivo imaging methods and image analysis techniques that facilitate precise diagnoses and expedite the decision-making process for treatments. Specifically, we are focusing on advancing MR imaging techniques to quantitatively assess changes in the morphology and function of biological tissues. In addition, we are conducting research on the development of novel quantitative analysis techniques for nuclear medicine imaging aimed at evaluating treatment efficacy and predicting side effects. Our goal is to support clinical decisions swiftly through a comprehensive approach that includes non-invasive and time-efficient examination methods and subsequent image processing.
