Abstract: A treatment planning system that generates treatment planning for irradiating a target with a particle beam, includes an arithmetic processing device that sets at least two or more irradiation patterns for one treatment planning, calculates a plurality of predicted dose distributions for each irradiation pattern based on a target dose set for each region for at least one region including a region of the target, and calculates an index for evaluating validity of the irradiation pattern based on the plurality of predicted dose distributions.

Abstract: An image processor applies computation processing to a plurality of CT images formed by irradiation of radiation of a plurality of energy levels to acquire monochromatic CT images. The image processor acquires a first energy level CT image formed by irradiation of first energy level radiation and a second energy level CT image formed by irradiation of second energy level radiation, applies a plurality of weighted computations to the first and second energy level CT images to compute a plurality of monochromatic CT images as a result of the weighted computations, segments a surrounding region of a highly-absorbent material circumferentially into a plurality of regions of interest having a predetermined area and calculates a standard deviation of the surrounding region by using a mean value of image data of each region of interest, for each monochromatic CT image, and selects a monochromatic CT image with a small standard deviation.
