Photon Medical Research Center is a government-supported institute for researches on the light and medicine. Prof. Terakawa’s responsibility lies mainly on basic researches of cell biology and physiology by means of advanced light microscopy. R & D of microscopic techniques and application of the optronics to basic and clinical medicine are also included in his duty. He is one of the leaders of a selected consortium for priority projects for medical innovation in Japan. Thereby a navigation system for endoscopic surgery is developed with a core technology of 3D-optical scanner, aiming at a rapid clearance of government approval for clinical use.

Les thèmes que vous souhaitez développer durant votre intervention

“Medical Imaging Promoted by Academia-Industry Collaboration in Hamamatsu”

A TV system was borne in Hamamatsu in 1926. Since then the photonic technology grew and prospered in the area. Hamamatsu Photonics developed a supreme PMT for molecular imaging, and we developed an ultra high NA lens for single molecule imaging. An optronics cluster was established in Hamamatsu in 2002 for innovation of CMOS camera, X-ray camera, and accurate color camera. The laser was applied to a fiber microscope and an auto-scaling endoscope. A surgical navigation system was devised for the safe endoscopic operation. An image-guided remote diagnosis was attempted also. Further, a development of a mass imaging system is now in progress.
