    Abstract: A correlation between a CT value and a water equivalent thickness ratio distribution for each patient can be corrected without increasing a treatment time, and more accurate treatment can be realized. A treatment planning system 112 which generates a treatment plan for irradiating an irradiation target with a particle beam calculates a correction amount of a water equivalent thickness ratio of a first treatment plan created in advance, calculates a water equivalent thickness ratio distribution based on the correction amount and the first treatment plan, and creates a second treatment plan from the water equivalent thickness distribution.

    Abstract: A radiation therapy planning apparatus performs dose calculation at high speed and with high accuracy for radiation therapy in a scanning irradiation method. The apparatus includes a display, an arithmetic processing apparatus, a memory, and a data server, which is connected to a particle beam irradiation apparatus. A dose calculation unit of the arithmetic processing apparatus calculates dose distribution by a simplified Monte Carlo algorithm, and corrects the dose distribution by a decreasing rate stored in a particle number decreasing rate table of the memory, and stores the corrected dose distribution in an integrated dose distribution table. By using the simplified Monte Carlo algorithm and the particle number decreasing rate that corrects the simplified Monte Carlo algorithm, the dose distribution is calculated, and thereby, it is possible to realize a radiation therapy planning apparatus that performs dose calculation at a high speed with high accuracy.

    Abstract: A radiation measuring device having a plurality of sensors configured to generate charges in response to the radiation includes a signal processing device. The signal processing device uses an signal generated by a proton beam irradiation device upon changing of beam energy and causes accumulation values of charges output from the sensors to be separately stored in a main control device for each value of the energy. The main control device calculates depth dose profiles for values of the beam energy from the accumulation values stored in the main control device and representing the charges. The main control device calculates a range of the beam for each of the values of the beam energy from the depth dose profiles, corrects the depth dose profiles for the values of the beam energy using a correction coefficient that depends on the range and sums the corrected depth dose profiles.
