As about 90% of PET systems in Japan are imported, nuclear medicine in Japan is behind the world while radiation measurement research is active. New technologies which can solve various clinical problems are desired. In this presentation, the Future PET Development Uni, which has been launched to promote applied physics research contributing to clinical medicine, or research based on a concept of Bench to Clinical (B2C), is introduced.
