Industry-wide collaborations are crucial for bringing exciting technologies such as AI radio access networks and uncrewed telecommunications aircraft to the real world.
A growing company in Beijing, Shuimu Dongfang is a pioneer in medical devices contract design and manufacturing outsourcing solutions for China’s expanding healthcare sector.
A wealth of magnetic field information, accessible by atomic magnetometers, could potentially aid in disease diagnosis, health monitoring and biological research.
New imaging technology can scan incredibly small bones, such as those in the ear, to a 50-micron level of detail, which could lead to swifter diagnoses of diseases.
Advances in digital pathology along with artificial-intelligence tools could accelerate disease diagnosis and address imbalances in healthcare resources.
Researchers hope that a powerful and more responsive X-ray radiotherapy system could target cancers with great precision, shortening treatment times and reducing damage to healthy tissue.
Semiconductor detectors that directly measure the electrical signals produced by X-rays have hugely improved the resolution and contrast of computed tomography scanners.
A combination of advances in magnetic resonance imaging to help track the movement of fluids in the brain and supercomputer-powered simulations are modifying our understanding of cognitive decline.
From X-ray tech as far back as 1896, through to the adoption of AI for diagnosing diseases from medical images today, Japan has long been at the forefront of radiology.
