Abstract: A template matching is performed on two fluoroscopic images by using a template image prepared in advance and a position corresponding to a high matching score is listed as a candidate for the position of a marker 29. From two lists of the candidates of the position of the marker 29, the lengths of common vertical lines for all combinations are calculated. Then, the position of the marker 29 is detected based on the matching score and the common vertical line. Then, based on the detected position of the marker 29, an amount of a proton beam to be irradiated to a target is controlled. Therefore, a tracking target can be accurately detected even when the conditions for X-ray fluoroscopy is severe, e.g., a thick object.

Abstract: A tumor tracking control device (41) performs windowing process on a captured image A (61) and a captured image B (62), measures a position of a marker (29) using the captured image A (61) and the captured image B (62) after performing the windowing process, and generates a signal capable of controlling irradiation with radiation based on the position of the marker (29). Accordingly, it is possible to provide a tumor tracking apparatus and an irradiation system which are capable of tracking an object to be tracked without erroneous detection, even in a case where a structure similar to the object to be tracked is in the vicinity of the object to be tracked, in tumor tracking.

Abstract: A controller of a hybrid vehicle includes: a control unit configured to activate a starter device for starting any one of a drive motor and an engine by stepping up electric power from a battery by a voltage transformer. The control unit includes a limitation part that limits passing power of the voltage transformer when the temperature of the voltage transformer rises, and a calculation part that obtains a maximum electric power that can be supplied to the drive motor when the starter device is activated, by subtracting a consumed power of the starter device from limited power during limitation of passing power by the limitation part. The control unit activates the starter device and starts the engine, when required power of the drive motor reaches the maximum electric power calculated by the calculation part during limitation of passing power by the limitation part.

Abstract: A structure configuring a ridge filter has line symmetry about a line vertical to a depth direction passing the center of the structure. A small structure obtained in such a way that the structure is divided by this line has a bilaterally asymmetric shape about a center line in an iterative direction, and has a point symmetric shape about an intersection between the center line in the iterative direction and the center line in the depth direction. Thicknesses in the iterative direction of an uppermost stream surface and a lowermost stream surface in the depth direction are equal to each other. The structure is configured so that a thick portion in the iterative direction of the uppermost stream surface and the lowermost stream surface is not present in the depth direction.
