Medical Physics Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab conducts medical physics research that supports radiation therapy for cancer from the physics side.
AboutAbout the lab
Supporting highly precise radiation therapy through medical physics.
The Medical Physics Lab carries out research and development in medical physics aimed at delivering radiation therapy for cancer with high precision.
It focuses on research into particle beam therapy using proton beams, carbon ion beams (heavy ion beams), and neutron beams, and on developing systems for it.
In collaboration with the Radiation Therapy Biology Lab and the Department of Radiation Oncology, the lab conducts joint research with particle beam therapy facilities and with companies that develop equipment and AI software.
Aiming to train medical physicists who can work in clinical settings, universities, and research institutes, the lab attracts students from various backgrounds, including medical technology and science and engineering.
Key terms
- Medical physics
- An academic field that builds on basic physics and applies knowledge from radiation physics, information engineering, medicine, biology, and other areas to medicine.
- Radiation therapy
- A treatment in which the interaction between radiation and the human body triggers a chain of physical, chemical, and biological reactions that kill tumor cells.
- Particle beam therapy
- Radiation therapy that uses proton beams, carbon ion beams (heavy ion beams), and neutron beams.
ResearchResearch themes
In radiation therapy, physical reactions from the interaction between radiation and the human body trigger a chain of chemical and biological reactions that kill tumor cells. To make radiation therapy more precise, the lab works on particle beam therapy research and system development, and its distinguishing feature is "research that creates new research concepts."
