Research Subjects
  • (1) Development of new dosimetry and patient specific dose verification system in radiation therapy with high-energy photon beams
  • (2) Development of new dosimetry and evaluation method of patient radiation dose in diagnostic x-ray examinations and x-ray computed tomography
Research Focus The topics of our research are as follows:
(1) To develop new dosimetry and patient specific dose verification system in higher accurate radiation therapy such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT).
(2) To develop new dosimetry and evaluation method of patient radiation dose in diagnostic x-ray examinations and x-ray computed tomography.

Our laboratory has been developing new dosimetry and dose evaluation method in radiation therapy and diagnostic radiation examinations, based on Monte Carlo calculations.
