Fujitsu, University of Toronto use quantum-inspired tech to treat brain tumours
Mar 2, 2021 Fujitsu Laboratories in collaboration with researchers at the University of Toronto (U of T) has announced the development of a technology for dramatically streamlining the creation of radiation treatment plans for Gamma Knife radiosurgery. The technology leverages Fujitsu’s quantum-inspired computing technology, the Digital Annealer, which rapidly solves combinatorial optimisation problems. Gamma Knife radiation therapies are used to treat illnesses including brain tumors and arteriovenous malformations. The process of creating treatment plans using conventional methods is ofte...
