Division of Medical Physics

Dept. of Medical Physics

We are involved in academic research in the fields of mathematics, physics, and chemistry as foundations for managing the safe use of medical equipment that uses radiation, and for providing the best possible images for diagnostic imaging and radiation therapy. Additionally, we are carrying out research in the field of medical physics as related to precise radioactivity measurement and dosimetry for the safe use of radiation in medical care, as well as research on computer technology for supporting accurate processing, transmission, and accumulation of medical information required for early diagnosis and treatment of various diseases.
