Comment

We can estimate firmness by measuring the characteristics of vibrations applied to biological tissue from an external source. By applying this, I established a method of improving quantitativity in lesion diagnosis, ensured safety in applying the method, and developed basic miniaturization technology with applications to endoscopes.
It is difficult for me to describe what an honor it is to have my work recognized in this way. I feel that I share this prize with all the people who have provided me with guidance and support since I was a student. I am committed to continuing my work in this field to achieve better results as a means of contributing to society and improving lives.
