どうやら mayo clinic が重い腰をあげたようだ。
メイヨークリニックは長い間重粒子線の採用を検討していた。
あまりにも長いのでもうあきらめたのかとおもっていたが。
Fermilab の名前が協賛されているのは
ここでは中性子治療がおこなわれているから
以上になにかあるのかもしれないなー。
Carbon Ion Radiotherapy Symposium
Dear Colleagues,
Please join us for the Inaugural Joint Symposium on Carbon Ion Radiotherapy, which will be held May 2nd and 3rd at the Double Tree Hotel in Rochester, Minn. This two day symposium on carbon ion radiotherapy will be sponsored jointly by Mayo Clinic, the NIU Institute for Neutron Therapy at Fermilab and our colleagues in Japan at the National Institute of Radiological Sciences (NIRS). On Day One, our colleagues from NIRS will present the latest clinical results with carbon ion therapy. There will also be an update on the Heidelberg Ion Therapy Center (HIT) in Germany, the European Network for Light Ion Therapy (ENLIGHT), presentations on the US Vision for hadron therapy from Mayo Clinic and Fermilab/NIU, and relevant radiobiology talks.
Day Two will be devoted to presentations and discussions regarding the technology challenges, novel accelerator technologies, beam delivery and gantry designs for ion therapy. Following this, an optional tour of the Mayo Clinic Proton Beam Therapy Center will be available.
Please mark your calendars and join us this Spring!

Fostering International Collaboration between Japan and the United States in carbon ion radiotherapy
A two day symposium sponsored by:
- Mayo Clinic Department of Radiation Oncology
- Japan National Institute of Radiological Sciences
- Northern Illinois University Institute for Neutron Therapy at Fermilab
。。。。A two day symposium sponsored jointly by the National Institute of Radiological Sciences (NIRS) of Japan, Mayo Clinic, and Northern Illinois University Institute for Neutron Therapy at Fermilab designed to review the state of the art in carbon ion radiotherapy in Japan and in Europe. This two day conference will consist of public lectures reviewing the experience in carbon ion radiotherapy in Japan at NIRS and in Germany at HIT, as well as presentations regarding the potential for development of a carbon ion center in the United States, radiobiology, and accelerator technology.
