Mevion transformed radiation oncology by inventing compact proton therapy shrinking the equipment footprint and the operational and financial costs significantly while still delivering a powerful cancer fighting tool.
Proton therapy equipment.
Some proton therapy centers have financial counselors to consult.
A large machine called a synchrotron extracts protons from hydrogen atoms accelerating them to almost the speed of light and delivering the radiation with pinpoint accuracy.
Already 50 iba proton therapy centers worldwide.
Bring this leading edge technology to your center today with iba.
Proton therapy is considered as the most advanced radiation treatment.
Iba the best in proton therapy today and tomorrow.
Proton therapy is the most technologically advanced method to deliver radiation treatments to cancerous tumors available today.
Proton beam therapy uses special machines a cyclotron and synchrotron being the most common to generate and accelerate protons to speeds up to 60 percent the speed of light and energies of up to 250 million electron volts.
It is important to check with your insurance provider about coverage.
The machines and equipment for proton therapy are very complex and expensive to make and operate.
Traditional proton therapy systems were too expensive too large and much too complex for most cancer treatment centers.
What equipment is used.
These high energy protons are steered by magnets toward the treatment room and then to the specific part of the body being treated.
Your doctor will recommend the appropriate treatment for your cancer.
Our success is based on our commitment.
