In addition, several questionnaire surveys on medical physics education (MPE) or medical physicist training system (MPTS) in Japan have been conducted, none have targeted the current status and issues of MPE and MPTS. The purpose of this study was to investigate those from the perspective of researchers and students under 35-year-old (y.o.). The questionnaire survey was conducted between 14th September to 14th October 2021, for 112 members of the Young Researchers' Association of Medical Physics via Google Forms. The questionnaire was in two parts: MPE (Part1) and MPTS (Part2). Three subparts were constructed in Part1: Classroom lecture, Clinical training, Education course accredited by Japanese Board of Medical Physicist Qualification. Out of a total of 126 questions, 38 were mandatory to be answered. No personal information was collected. Ninety-three members (83.0%) were answered. The age structure of the respondents was as follows: 18-21, 22-26, 27-30, and 31-35 y.o.=5.4%, 36.6%, 39.8%, and 18.2%. Of the respondents, 74.2% and 11.8% answered that they first heard of \"medical physics\" or \"medical physicist\" when they were undergraduate students and in high school or younger, respectively. In Classroom lecture, 61.3%, 17.2%, and 21.5% of the respondents answered that they were \"satisfied\" or \"moderately satisfied\", \"dissatisfied\" or \"moderately dissatisfied\", and \"Not sure\" with the current MPE, respectively. In Clinical training, Education course, and MPTS, 58.1%, 21.5%, and 20.4% of the respondents answered that they were \"satisfied\" or \"moderately satisfied\", \"dissatisfied\" or \"moderately dissatisfied\", and \"Not sure\", respectively. In both MPE and MPTS, approximately 88% and 51% of the respondents answered that \"holding lectures and study sessions for high school and undergraduate students\" and \"utilizing YouTube\" would be useful in promoting MPE and MPTS in Japan, respectively. The results of the questionnaire survey will provide useful data for MPE and MPTS in Japan.</p>","PeriodicalId":13394,"journal":{"name":"Igaku butsuri : Nihon Igaku Butsuri Gakkai kikanshi = Japanese journal of medical physics : an official journal of Japan Society of Medical Physics","volume":"42 2","pages":"88-105"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40406479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method that Dr. Tanaka suggested first (in 1974) was to reconstruct analytically a section image from the projection data convoluted the correction functions. The correction functions were optimized to yield a maximum 'signal-to-noise ratio'. In 1983 and 1984, two image reconstruction algorithms, WBP and RPC were suggested assuming a uniform attenuation in the object. Dr. Tanaka understood intuitively that these methods had few noise and distortions in reconstructed images. WBP was an approximate solution, but three type analytically methods were reported by Tretiak O, et al., Bellini S, et al., and Inoyue T, et al. In 1995, Metz CE, et al. and Kudo H, et al. succeeded independently each other in finishing a general theory of the analytic absorption Radon Conversion by using parameter \"n\". The relations among the above three analytically methods and WBP were explained, beautifully. The important thing in the study is a flexible idea such as catching a problem as the issue of black box or reverse and the result to be concise and elegant.","PeriodicalId":13394,"journal":{"name":"Igaku butsuri : Nihon Igaku Butsuri Gakkai kikanshi = Japanese journal of medical physics : an official journal of Japan Society of Medical Physics","volume":"4 1","pages":"33-36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88228530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Circular detector rings of an equally spaced detector arrangement have a problem of linear sampling density distributions in the projections. The problem can be solved by Positology in which a continuously rotating detector ring of an unequally spaced detector arrangement obtained by computer iterative searching provides a fine and uniform sampling density distribution. The imaging performance of multilayer positron emission tomography scanners for extended sources is evaluated analytically. The analysis is simplified by \"rotation transform,\" by which three-dimensional photon detection problems are solved by two-dimensional treatment. Event rates of singles, unscattered true coincidence, and single- and double-scattered coincidence are formulated for a uniform cylindrical phantom. Positron emission tomography scanners based on Positology, named Positologica, were developed for brain, whole-body and animal study. A high resolution stationary PET scanner, SHR-1200 was also developed for brain study.","PeriodicalId":13394,"journal":{"name":"Igaku butsuri : Nihon Igaku Butsuri Gakkai kikanshi = Japanese journal of medical physics : an official journal of Japan Society of Medical Physics","volume":"54 1","pages":"23-32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88369407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
