Outline of Final Research Achievements

Radiotherapy is one of the standard treatments for cancers. However, the number of certified radiation oncologists is not enough in Japan thus far. Therefore, it is usual that some radiation oncologists who are employees of, for example, university hospitals go to and help small radiotherapy facilities as a part-time job. In such cases, infomation should sometimes be transmitted from those small facilities to the university hospitals, in order to make a precise radiotherapy treatment planning, if time is not enough for radiation treatment planning during the pysician's stay in the small facilities. We have made some model packages for transmitting such information regarding radiotherapy treatment planning, and uploaded them to our internet homepage which can be downloaded by everyone freely.
