Machine-translated · View original
A radiation oncology lab that advances radiation therapy for cancer through both clinical care and research.
AboutAbout the lab
Advancing radiation therapy for cancer through clinical care and research.
The Radiation Oncology Lab is a department within the Department of Radiation Oncology at Tohoku University Hospital, and it conducts clinical care and research centered on radiation therapy for cancer.
The department states that it was among the first in Japan to introduce advanced treatments such as stereotactic radiotherapy and intensity-modulated radiotherapy.
Tohoku University has a long-established research institute that has contributed to the development and advancement of PET, and the lab also conducts research that makes use of it.
In collaboration with the Department of Health Sciences, the lab also offers a Medical Physicist Course for students who aim to become medical physicists.
Key terms
- Stereotactic radiotherapy
- A treatment method that delivers radiation to a lesion from multiple directions in a concentrated manner
