ASEMtech Inc. (headquartered in Koganei, Tokyo; Representative Director and CEO: Kenji Ikushima; hereafter “ASEMtech”), in collaboration with researchers from Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, Nippon Sigmax Co., Ltd., Tohoku University, and Anylom Inc., has detected osteoporosis-associated changes in rat femoral bones using the acoustically stimulated electromagnetic (ASEM) method, which detects weak electric polarization (piezoelectric […]

Our CEO, Prof. Dr. Ikushima, delivered an invited lecture at the 2025 ASA/JSA Joint Meeting (Dec. 1-5, Hawaii, USA), co-hosted by the Acoustical Society of America and the Acoustical Society of Japan. Title: Advancing Electromagnetic Imaging through ASEM Technology

Title: Anisotropy of Acoustically Induced Polarization in Human Lower Limb Bones and Tendons Significant polarization anisotropy was observed in the Achilles tendon, with polarization occurring along the direction of collagen fiber alignment.In the cortical bone of the tibia, anisotropic polarization was detected along the bone axis in the diaphyseal region, whereas near the epiphyseal region,
