| Radiological Sciences |
|
In the field of radiological science, basic research and development of methods are conducted to acquire biological information using such media as radiation, magnetic field and ultrasound, and in order to utilize the acquired information effectively and safely, research and development work is also conducted to develop diagnostic support and network systems, therapeutic techniques and radiation exposure control technology. In the meantime, the education area in this field extends from the basics to the application of physics, chemistry and measuring of radiation and radioisotopes, and additionally extends to major programs including medical imaging informatics, imaging diagnostic technology, nuclear medicine technology, radiation therapy, and radiation safety management technology. Through education in these areas, we continue our efforts to train and nurture researchers who aim at the development of new systems backed by new ideas in addition to existing knowledge and will play a role in world-class research, leaders of medical facilities who can manage from a broad perspective of medical treatment, and educators who possess advanced knowledge and skills.

| Pathophysiological Laboratory Science |
|
Pathophysiological science is the field focused on analyzing the biological function of living things and understanding the disease mechanisms. Our goal is to develop new technologies and apply the latest results of basic scientific research to clinical diagnosis. Research in our department covers the whole breadth of medicine including immunology, microbiology, analytical chemistry, physiology, hematology, pathology and epidemiology. Experts in each field are conducting cutting-edge training and research. Education is a significant mission in our department and various teaching programs are offered based on these research activities. The scope of the program is to provide the specialized knowledge and skills needed for research in laboratory sciences and in clinical medicine. Students will develop problem-solving skills needed as a professional laboratory scientist and an educator in this field.
