Rotational Gantry and Horizontal Fixed Beam Treatment Rooms

Rotational Gantry and Horizontal Fixed Beam Treatment Rooms

The rotational gantry is the patient-facing structure that houses the Dynamic Peak™ integrated scanning technology with delivery nozzle, and imaging and treatment delivery solutions.

Gantries provide 380 degrees of coverage around the patient as treatment is delivered, and offer a 6 degree of freedom patient positioning system.

Horizontal fixed beam rooms feature the same robotic patient positioning couch and Dynamic Peak treatment delivery nozzle.

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.
