Biography

Professor ReQiushi focuses othe research field of “multimodal molecular medical imaging innovations plus artificial intelligence,” targeting early diagnosis and functional imaging of major diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disorders, and neurological conditions. His research spans molecular medical imaging technology and equipment, visioscience and diagnostic techniques, and laser & photonic biomedicine.  

Building oa series of independently developed multimodal molecular imaging systems ihis laboratory and integrating AI technologies, he has worked closely with multidisciplinary clinicians to conduct pioneering translational research and clinical applications imultimodal molecular imaging. These efforts have incubated China’s first 64-slice PET/CT, next-generatiofully digital PET/CT, whole-body PET/CT, a small-animal five-modality imaging system, a multimodal visual-functioimaging analyzer, a multifunctional fully automated fundus camera, and aophthalmic optical coherence tomography (OCT) device, among other high-performance medical imaging instruments.  

Among them, the multimodal visual-functioimaging system combines multispectral imaging, laser-speckle imaging, adaptive-optics imaging, dynamic pupillary-response imaging analysis, and eye-movement imaging analysis. It enables objective quantificatioof retinal metabolic function, local blood-flow dynamics, retinal vessel wall and lumediameter, pupillary responses under various conditions, and eye-movement patterns during visual tasks, providing new tools and methods for investigating the mechanisms underlying eye diseases and for early diagnosis and monitoring of neurological disorders.  

To date, Professor Rehas published over 300 academic papers, obtained 2 U.S. patents, 3 international patents, and more tha100 domestic patents.
