Developments of Image-guided and Adaptive Radiotherapy Technology

In the treatment room, we have established real-time image guided radiotherapy, including respiratory-gated irradiation. In recent years, medical staff are increasingly required to make difficult decisions as treatment techniques become more precise. Therefore, we are working on the development of image guided radiotherapy based on the AI learning from a huge number of medical images and clinical experiences. This brings us closer to realization of adaptive therapy³⁾.​
