Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Radiology
  • Cancer

His primary areas of study are Nuclear medicine, Positron emission tomography, Neuroscience, Cerebral blood flow and Emission computed tomography. His Nuclear medicine research integrates issues from Tomography, Carcinoma and Chemoradiotherapy. He combines subjects such as Coronary artery disease, Perfusion and Ischemia with his study of Positron emission tomography.

His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Premotor cortex and Neuroscience. The various areas that Yoshiharu Yonekura examines in his Cerebral blood flow study include Stroke, Hemodynamics, Lenticular nucleus and Reproducibility. In his work, Spect imaging, Optics, Pinhole and Image resolution is strongly intertwined with Single-photon emission computed tomography, which is a subfield of Emission computed tomography.

His most cited work include:

  • Both primary motor cortex and supplementary motor area play an important role in complex finger movement (451 citations)
  • Copper-62-ATSM: A New Hypoxia Imaging Agent with High Membrane Permeability and Low Redox Potential (418 citations)
  • Positron emission tomography using fluorine-18 deoxyglucose in evaluation of coronary artery bypass grafting (352 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary scientific interests are in Nuclear medicine, Internal medicine, Positron emission tomography, Cardiology and Cerebral blood flow. Yoshiharu Yonekura has included themes like Tomography, Blood flow, Radiology and Perfusion in his Nuclear medicine study. His work in the fields of Internal medicine, such as Coronary artery disease, Carbohydrate metabolism and Metabolism, intersects with other areas such as In patient.

The Positron emission tomography study combines topics in areas such as Ischemia and Pathology. His work carried out in the field of Cerebral blood flow brings together such families of science as Hemodynamics and Neuroscience. His studies in Supplementary motor area and Visual cortex are all subfields of Neuroscience research.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Nuclear medicine (37.82%)
  • Internal medicine (27.56%)
  • Positron emission tomography (19.39%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1999-2013)?

  • Nuclear medicine (37.82%)
  • Internal medicine (27.56%)
  • Neuroscience (8.49%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Yoshiharu Yonekura mainly investigates Nuclear medicine, Internal medicine, Neuroscience, Functional magnetic resonance imaging and Cardiology. His Nuclear medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Head and neck cancer, Magnetic resonance imaging and Cerebral blood flow. His Cerebral blood flow research includes elements of Hemodynamics, Central nervous system disease and Perfusion.

His Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Endocrinology and Oncology. Many of his research projects under Cardiology are closely connected to In patient with In patient, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His work in Positron emission tomography covers topics such as Ovarian cancer which are related to areas like Physical examination.

Between 1999 and 2013, his most popular works were:

  • Attention to emotion modulates fMRI activity in human right superior temporal sulcus. (306 citations)
  • 11C-Acetate PET Imaging of Prostate Cancer (297 citations)
  • Critical period for cross-modal plasticity in blind humans: a functional MRI study. (271 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Radiology
  • Cancer

Yoshiharu Yonekura focuses on Neuroscience, Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Nuclear medicine, Visual cortex and Pathology. In Neuroscience, he works on issues like Premotor cortex, which are connected to Brodmann area. His work deals with themes such as Prefrontal cortex, Laterality, Temporal lobe and Functional imaging, which intersect with Functional magnetic resonance imaging.

His studies in Nuclear medicine integrate themes in fields like Head and neck cancer, Central nervous system disease, Lenticular nucleus, Metastasis and Chemoradiotherapy. As a member of one scientific family, Yoshiharu Yonekura mostly works in the field of Central nervous system disease, focusing on Stroke and, on occasion, Hemodynamics and Cerebral blood flow. Yoshiharu Yonekura interconnects Positron emission tomography, Radiology and Perfusion in the investigation of issues within Brain ischemia.
