We are pleased to report that first-year master course students Yukito Tanaka, Ryota Tozuka, and Taichi Hoshino from the Medical Physics Group gave presentations at the 36th Annual Meeting of the External Radiation Division of High Precision Radiation held in Chiba Prefecture on March 3, 2023.

The theme of the conference was “Expansion of indications for high-precision radiotherapy by fusion of knowledge and skills”, aiming at further expansion of indications by fusing the “intelligence” and “skill” of a wide range of staff members involved in radiotherapy. The theme of the conference was “Expanding the Indications for High-Precision Radiotherapy by Integrating Knowledge and Skills”.

On the first day of the conference, a symposium was held on the IMRT Physics and Technology Guideline 2023, which was revised this year. 2023 is the first revision of the IMRT Physics and Technology Guideline in 12 years and has a large volume of content in both quality and quantity to respond to the increasing sophistication of radiation therapy during that time. At this symposium, the members of the guideline development team gave lectures, and it was very informative to hear their stories directly. These guidelines are the most core of medical physics work, and I intend to read and understand them thoroughly.

I have made an oral presentation on the topic of “Initial Study of Deep Learning Based Automated Planning in Prostate VMAT. As radiotherapy becomes more sophisticated and the number of cases increases, the burden on the field is increasing. “AI-based workflow automation” is being studied as one way to address this problem. I have focused on automated planning and presented a paper on planning a typical case of prostate VMAT using AI without human intervention, and I will continue to pursue further improvements in efficiency and accuracy in the future. I am looking forward to pursuing further efficiency and accuracy in the future.

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the professors who guided my research and gave me this opportunity to present my paper.
