Bioimaging: Changing the Future of Medicine

Do you know the term bioimaging? It is a technique for observing living cells by making them shine or light up, and people are saying that it will change the face of medicine. In surgery, for example, doctors can remove cancer cells much more easily when they are lit up. Bioimaging is also leading to rapid advances in our understanding of the mechanisms behind cancer, Alzheimer's, and other pathological conditions. This new understanding should help find these conditions earlier than ever before. Japanese bioimaging technology is at the global forefront. Tune in and see for yourself!
