Proton Techniques

Varian Intensity Modulation Proton Therapy (IMPT) uses Dynamic Peak™ technology to enable clinicians to tailor and maximize the radiation dose to a tumor, while delivering lower global dose to healthy tissue.

Disclaimer

The proton therapy device technology described here has not been cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for clinical use and is in development. The FDA has a unique set of standards for proton therapy devices because the entire proton therapy facility must be built for the specific device. For these types of devices, the FDA allows proton therapy sponsors to discuss projects with potential customers and to engage in contracts/orders to build proton therapy facilities and /or to purchase proton therapy equipment. However, contracts or other engagements specific to clinical practice are strictly prohibited; that is, no engagements or agreements for patient scheduling or physician group practice to use proton therapy equipment are permitted in advance of FDA clearance.
