title: [Interaction between clinical and research towards venture business].
abstract: The author as a medical physicist has supported multiple institutions where the advanced radiation therapies as well as the conventional radiation therapy have been performed. Since the advanced radiation treatment techniques have spread rapidly, the quality assurance (QA) has been more important and complex that results in the increase of QA items. In order to maintain the quality of radiation therapy as accurate as possible, the efficient and objective approach for performing QA should be important. Author has developed some QA software which has solved those approaches based on the experiment. In this paper the background in multiple institutions as a view point of radiation treatment situation is presented and what author contributes to those institutions by a medical physics support is shown, finally it is considered that how the developed software has spread in Japan and used for many institutions via venture business.
