Outline of Final Research Achievements

We evaluated the functional localization in the liver associated with proton beam therapy with the goal of safely performing proton beam therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma. As a result, it was found that liver function by proton beam irradiation can be clarified by MRI signal change. In addition, safety and effectiveness of gold marker indwelling surgery was evaluated for safe and accurate proton therapy. As a result, it became clear that marker placement with a 25 G small diameter needle can be performed without anesthesia
