In order to realize the adaptive charged particle therapy, a 3D scanning irradiation system is installed in the new facility. We have also developed a new treatment planning system and a patient handling system. The therapeutic irradiation of carbon beam to the first patient was started on May 17, 2011 and finished on June 10, after a half year commissioning program. The treatments for 8 patients were finished before the summer shutdown and the clinical studies will be continued for a more than a dozen patients until this November. A compact rotating gantry for carbon beam is also an important subject in the new facility. A superconducting rotating gantry has been developed and it will have a similar size and weight to proton gantry.}, pages = {93--96}, publisher = {National Institute of Radiological Sciences}, title = {New Particle Therapy Facility in NIRS, Present and Future Plan}, year = {2011} }
