    3. CT-PET imaging center

Physical researches

  1. The research related to an intra-fractional cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) during volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT)
    1. Collation of the image and the on-rail CT image after the treatment to check the intra fractional tumor motion.
    2. Dose reconstruction with the image using a dose calculation algorithm of a treatment planning system (TPS) to confirm accurate dose prescription for the tumor.
  2. The research related to 4D-CT using Abches Comparison of the treatment plans for respiratory gated radiotherapy between the phase average image and the exhale phase image of the 4D-CT.
  3. The research related to deformable image registration (DIR)
    1. Adaptive radiotherapy in tomotherapy using the mega-voltage CT (MVCT)
  4. Basic researches in the satellite hospitals
