Outline of Final Research Achievements

In cancer radiotherapy, it is more important to accurately depict the extent of the cancerous lesion (tumor contouring) than This is an important aspect of good treatment practice. In this study, we developed a web-based tumor contouring software and used the software as a platform to The purpose of this system is to connect to the construction of an educational system for high-precision radiotherapy practice. The software we developed allows input from not only desktop PCs but also tablet devices. This has made it possible to create an environment in which radiation treatment planning is easier.
