Medical Quantum Science Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that evaluates dose distributions in radiation therapy and radiation exposure.
AboutAbout the lab
Evaluating dose distributions in radiation therapy and radiation exposure.
The Medical Quantum Science Lab works on evaluating dose distributions in radiation therapy and evaluating neutron exposure in proton therapy.
Associate Professor Komori's research keywords include particle beam therapy and medical physics.
Assistant Professor Tomihara's research keywords include brachytherapy and stereotactic radiotherapy.
Key terms
- Dose
- A value representing the amount of energy that radiation deposits in the body or other material. In radiation therapy, its spatial distribution is called the dose distribution.
- Particle beam therapy
- Radiation therapy that delivers accelerated particles, such as protons or carbon ions, to a cancer.
- Brachytherapy
- Radiation therapy in which a small radioactive source is placed near or inside a cancer.
- Monte Carlo simulation
- A computational method that uses random numbers to calculate the paths of radiation many times, in order to estimate dose distributions and radiation exposure.

The lab works on evaluating dose distributions in radiation therapy and evaluating exposure to neutrons produced in proton therapy. It also studies how dose measurements during treatment are affected by changes in the patient's body.
*Illustrative imageEvaluating neutron exposure in proton therapy
The lab evaluates exposure to secondary neutrons produced during proton therapy using Monte Carlo simulation. It also studies the effects of how the physical models used in the calculations are chosen and how the treatment room is modeled.
*Illustrative imageIn vivo dose measurement and changes in the body
In measurements that verify the dose delivered to patients during radiation therapy, the lab quantitatively studies how changes in body shape affect the results, focusing on chest treatment.
