Welcome Message

The 129th scientific meeting of Japan Society of Medical Physics
President Tomonori Isobe, Ph.D.

I am pleased to announce that I have been appointed as the President of the 129th Annual Meeting of the Japan Society of Medical Physics (JSMP). My name is Tomonori Isobe of the University of Tsukuba. I am deeply honored to have been given this opportunity, and I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the esteemed members and stakeholders of JSMP, as well as to the seniors and juniors with whom I have engaged in academic pursuits.

The 129th Scientific Meeting of the JSMP will be held from April 10th (Thursday) to 13th (Sunday), 2025, for four days at Pacifico Yokohama. It will be jointly held with the 84th Annual Meeting of the Japan Radiological Society (JRS), the 81st Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Radiological Technology (JSRT), and the International Technical Exhibition of Medical Imaging (ITEM) by the Japan Medical Imaging and Radiological Systems Industries Association (JIRA), hosted by the Japan Radiological Society (JRC) as JRC2025. The theme of JRC2025 is "Radiology for everyone", embodying the vision of creating the future of radiology for the happiness of people, including concepts such as "returning to the origin of radiology" and "challenges to regional healthcare". JSMP has incorporated "Society 5.0" as a sub-theme, which is the concept of creating a comfortable society by integrating new technologies (such as IoT, AI, and robotics) into our lives. With the intention of contributing to society (radiology) through the creation of new technologies, JSMP has included these ideas in the posters. For example, the countryside landscape on the left and the two mountains on the right symbolize "regional healthcare", while the person and the robot in the center represent "coexistence of humans and technology". Additionally, the foundational signal theory of 0/1, which is the basis of information processing technology, incorporates symbols of Minato Mirai, the venue of JRC2025, such as landmarks (Landmark Tower, Pacifico Yokohama, and Ferris wheel). Our thoughts are also hidden in the posters, so please do take a look.

In this conference, we will develop a plan and call for research abstracts based on the following three pillars. The first pillar is "Enhancement of Seed Research and Matching with Needs Research". In Japan, it has been approximately 60 years since the birth of "medical physics". Due to advancements in medical equipment and technology, progress in IT, and the relentless efforts of predecessors, this field has made significant developments, and societal expectations are growing. Particularly, the societal contribution of medical physics in radiation therapy (radiation therapy physics) has been remarkable. However, in terms of "creating innovation", we feel that the growth of this field has slowed down. If we were to liken the current state of medical physics to hybrid cars in the automotive industry, we, who are engaged in this field, feel that we need more power to take further steps toward full electric cars that do not use gasoline. We believe that by inviting many scholars to participate in this conference and present their specialized research, we can not only further develop research but also create a venue where constructive and progressive valuable opinions are exchanged, leading to the birth of new research seeds. We promise to provide ample opportunities for discussion at this conference. The second pillar is "Expansion of the Scope of Research (Thought)". Medical physics is divided into four specialized areas (radiation therapy physics, diagnostic physics, nuclear medicine, and radiation protection), but at academic conferences, there are overwhelmingly more topics focused on "radiation therapy physics". While it is true that the interests and activities of members are primarily in radiation therapy physics, we believe that understanding other specialized areas is essential for "fusion of technologies and creation of new academic fields". In this conference, we intend to incorporate programs that focus on fields other than radiation therapy physics, and in addition to the regular solicitation method, we plan to solicit presentations with narrowed-down themes to diversify the program. The third pillar is "Medical Physicists". Under the strong determination to deliver academic knowledge and research to the clinical field, our society has been working on supporting the qualification of medical physicists and providing opportunities for them to play active roles in clinical settings. To create an environment where medical physicists can actively contribute to clinical settings, we are considering plans such as education (training of human resources), national qualification, and expansion of job domains.

Since May 2023, the COVID-19 has been categorized as a "class 5 infectious disease" under the Infectious Diseases Control Law, various restrictions have been lifted, and we are gradually returning to the appearance of academic conferences where face-to-face meetings were commonplace. We would like to encourage you to visit the venue and utilize this conference as a place for gathering information, exchanging ideas, and seeking new insights for the advancement of your own research. We look forward to your participation.
