Division of Medical Imaging

Dept. of Medical Imaging

We are conducting academic research on methods of photographing diagnostic characteristics of diseases and three-dimensional anatomical findings in all regions of the body through methods such as radiographic imaging, magnetic resonance imagining, and ultrasound imaging to optimize the images needed for diagnostic imagining and radiation treatment. Additionally, we are carrying out research on radiation therapy technological studies that provide sufficient radiation to treat malignant tumor tissues while controlling the radiation to prevent harm to the normal tissues as well as research on radiation management technological studies that focus on protection against radiation, radiation exposure management, and the safe handling of radiation.
