| Division
of Medical Imaging |
|
|
| We
develop the methods to measure functional parameters in human
organs using PET and radiotracers which were synthesized at
Division of Radiopharmaceutical Chemistry. PET can elucidate
pathological basis of various diseases. We also study the functional
mapping with MRI in comparison with PET measurements, particularly
focusing on imaging of complex neural network involving movement
and thought. |

of Molecular Imaging |
|
|
| Recent
research progress is clarifying the abnormalities in gene expression
underlying diseases, and various molecules participating in
the abnormality. Among such molecules, we are surveying for
the probes which can be used to detect diseases by PET as well
as MRI. |

of Radiopharmaceutical Chemistry (Endowed) |
|
|
| This
division is the first division for radiopharmaceutical research
and development established in Japanese Medical School. We perform
research and production of radiopharmaceuticals labeled with
cyclotron-produced radionuclides for clinical practice. |

Division
of Functional Neuroimaging
(in
cooperative with Faculty of Medicine) |
|
|
| We
examine the complex human brain function, such as movement,
sensation, emotion and cognition, by means of various noninvasive
medical imaging methods, such as PET, MRI and NIRS, in order
to elucidate complex function and developmental process in living
human brain. |

Division
of Oncology
(in
cooperative with Faculty of Medicine) |
|
|
| Extensive
studies have been carried out for the appropriate treatment
of malignant tumors as an urgent research subject. Our research
activities focus on the selection of the best treatment and
the evaluation of the effects in the early stage of the treatment
by combining medical imaging methods. We also study the radiotherapy
with accelerated particles and the new methods of internal radiation
therapy using the compounds with specific accumulation to the
tumor cells. |

Division
of Image Engineering
(in cooperative with Faculty of Engineering) |
|
|
| In
diagnostic imaging, regional quantitative data are reconstructed
to three-dimensional matrix and visualized through an appropriate
image-processing technology. Data obtained are varied in meaning,
resolution, quality, and so on. We develop new image processing
technology to handle a large quantity of data in short period
and extract new biological information useful for clinical diagnosis. |

Division
of PET Engineering
(Endowed) |
|
|
| We
perform development of control technology used in PET nuclear
medicine, such as cyclotron, automatic synthesizer, quality
control system, PET and image processing system. We also have
an education program for engineers and technologists for PET
nuclear medicine. |
