| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this research is to develop techniques and methodologies that improve the irradiation accuracy of boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) by linking a treatment planning system for BNCT and a patient positioning device with a motion capture technology. Regarding the patient positioning technology, we have developed a positioning device that can detect various positions of a patient in the irradiation room in real-time using multiple cameras. Verification results demonstrated the system enables to guide a patient to irradiation position within positioning accuracy required from BNCT.
Based on the research results, two domestic patents and one international patent (PCT) related to the methodologies have been applied. In addition, we have presented the research results at academic congresses in Japan as well as overseas and submitted one peer-reviewed paper.
