Yuri Hosoya(M1)

On September 30-October 1, 2019, Dr.Kadoya and Ms.Hosoya(M1) visited the Peter MacCallum Cancer Center in Australia with a group from Kyoto University as part of an international collaboration between the Japanese Clinical Oncology Group (JCOG) and the Global Harmonisation.

As in the visit to BC Cancer-Vancouver in Canada, they used a phantom to evaluate the accuracy of Deformable Image Registration (DIR) to investigate the differences in DIR accuracy between facilities.

Assistant Professor Kakutani gave a presentation on the joint research, and we had a very fruitful discussion with many local staff members who are familiar with DIR.
In the course of the research, we were able to see various innovations to improve DIR accuracy, and we also received valuable feedback on our research methods, which was very informative.

A first-year master’s student (Kyoto University), who was also with me, accompanied me this time, and we were able to exchange various opinions about our research. I believe that being able to share with him the same problems and ideas that I have, and that he has ideas that I do not have, will be a great motivation for me as I pursue my research in the future.
Finally, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Associate Professor Nakamura, Dr.Kadoya, and the local staff for giving me such a valuable opportunity.
