Advanced AI for Revealing the Unseen in Medical Imaging and Video
The Imaging and Clinical Research Team is advancing “AI medicine that visualizes the unseen,” harnessing cutting-edge AI to analyze diverse clinical data routinely collected in practice—medical imaging, surgical videos, gait recordings, and fundus photographs. Our data-driven research aims to generate new disease insights and enable safer, higher-quality care. Key projects include AI that predicts intraoperative adverse events from surgical videos, gait-based estimation of neurological disease severity, and early detection of systemic diseases using ocular images.
Through interdisciplinary collaboration among Neurosurgery (Sugiyama), Neurology (Eguchi), Ophthalmology (Saito), and Information Science (Togo), we are creating novel convergent research and advancing objective, AI-based quantification of human phenotypes. These outcomes will be translated into clinical impact—improving diagnostic accuracy and supporting skill development for junior physicians—scaling from Hokkaido to institutions nationwide.
