The therapy system features a pencil beam scanning (PBS) technology, Hyperscan, with fast energy layer switching and optimised spot sizes to enable rapid and sharp proton treatments.
Hyperscan also includes the Adaptive Aperture proton multi-leaf collimator system for precise dose gradient, minimising dose uncertainty at the edge of a tumour and to prevent unnecessary radiation to healthy tissues or sensitive areas.
Mevion Medical Systems EMEA Business Development field vice-president Perjan Pleunis said: “This milestone is part of Mevion’s global expansion of cutting-edge compact proton therapy systems in Europe.
“Mevion has led the way in establishing compact proton therapy as the most technologically advanced and financially viable choice in proton therapy.”
