| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We developed a dose calculation engine and a non-rigid registration engine, which are two important points in the development of a quality assurance system using four-dimensional dose calculation. The Collapse Cone Convolution Algorithm was adopted as the dose calculation engine and implemented. As a result, it was confirmed that the calculation accuracy was equivalent to that of the treatment planning device. On the other hand, it was found that the calculation time of this program was very long, and this speedup was decided to be carried over to 2020. Acceleration of non-rigid registration has been completed. Development of a GUI that integrates these two points has been completed. In FY2020, the development of a quality assurance system using four-dimensional dose calculation will be completed, and its effectiveness will be verified.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
放射線治療の新しい技術として動いている腫瘍を追尾して照射する追尾照射がある。通常の照射方では腫瘍の外の正常臓器へも照射する必要があるが、追尾照射方法は腫瘍の周りの正常臓器を極力打たなくて済む。したがって、副作用が小さく、また腫瘍への線量増加が可能で腫瘍制御率の向上が期待できる。
一方、複雑な治療法であり、実際治療計画の際は実際の患者体内の線量分布を確認できていない。そこで、その追尾照射を確認できる方法である四次元線量計算を利用した品質保証システムの開発を行った。このシステムにより不明であった追尾照射の線量分布が明らかになり、さらなる治療法の向上が見込める。
