Mevion Medical Systems has obtained CE-Mark for its MEVION S250i proton therapy system, allowing clinical use of the system in the European Union (EU) and countries that recognise the mark.

MEVION S250i is a compact, fully integrated platform that comprises gantry-mounted superconducting synchrocyclotron, a treatment couch and advanced in-room IGRT imaging.

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 S250i is intended to reduce cost per patient by decreasing capital and operating costs.”

“Mevion has led the way in establishing compact proton therapy as the most technologically advanced and financially viable choice in proton therapy.”
