To stabilize the effects of ultrasound, a statistical perspective is essential.

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute is developing technologies related to effective "measurement, analysis, and evaluation methods" using a <statistical approach> concerning the utilization of ultrasound. <About the Statistical Approach> Statistical mathematics has both abstract and concrete aspects, and through contact with concrete entities, abstract thoughts or methods are developed. This is the characteristic of statistical mathematics. - From "Statistics in Science" edited by Hirotsugu Akaike <About Models> Models are constructed with the aim of effectively advancing understanding, prediction, and control regarding the subject. Building an accurate model is difficult, and the examination is always conducted in a form that appropriately "rounds off" the complexity of the subject. In this sense, the process of constructing or building a model requires statistical thinking. <About the Relationship Between Models and Current Systems> (Points to Consider When Reflecting) 1) It is necessary to consider that preconceived notions and experiences may not be correct. 2) To think about the essence of a model, I believe it is effective to utilize category theory.
