Activities

Events

In April 2024, we established the Japan Remote Image Diagnosis Center (JRIDC).

In January 2024, we visited Bernard Healthcare in Vietnam.

In June 2023, we initiated remote image diagnostic services for Bernard Healthcare in Vietnam. Website: Bernard Healthcare

Research

We have conducted research using advanced MRI techniques, particularly analyzing cardiovascular blood flow dynamics in vascular diseases such as aortic aneurysms, dissections, and portal hypertension using 4D-flow MRI, and evaluating hepatic parenchymal changes in liver diseases using MR elastography.

Additionally, we have conducted foundational research in statistics, which forms the basis of medical research.
For instance, we have developed a new two-sample test.

Currently, we are working on developing an image diagnostic assistance system using a large-scale language model.
