Interdisciplinary fusion research for high-precision radiotherapy

Abstract

Radiotherapy is a treatment method that irradiates lesions by utilizing the difference in radiosensitivity between cancer cells and normal cells. CT imaging, treatment planning, and irradiation are important steps in radiotherapy. However, there are some problems hidden in each step. In collaboration with Department of Systems Science, Graduate School of Informatics at Kyoto University, we are currently working on a project that will change the way radiotherapy is conducted. In this talk, we will introduce some of the results.
