Our group is developing next-generation medical radiation (quantum) imaging technology, such as X-ray CT (computed tomography), PET (Positron Emission Tomography) and SPECT (Single Photon CT).
High resolution quantum radiation imaging will contribute to the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s and other diseases, drug development and realization of a society with longer healthy life expectancy.
