The pencil beam scanning technique enables intensity modulated proton therapy, which allows clinicians to target a cancerous tumour by controlling both the strength and spatial distribution with millimetre-precision.

RaySearch claims that RayStation’s proton module features all the tools required for PBS such as multiple field optimisation, single field uniform dose and distal edge tracking techniques.

"The pencil beam scanning technique enables intensity modulated proton therapy, which allows clinicians to target a cancerous tumour by controlling both the strength and spatial distribution with millimetre-precision."

RaySearch CEO Johan Lof said that the company has won several orders and been the most successful supplier of solutions for proton treatment planning over the last year.

"Our position on the US market becomes even stronger now that we have market clearance for all relevant techniques for proton therapy," Lof said.
