The gantry room at CDH Proton Center, A ProCure Center combines 360 rotation with a sophisticated patient positioning system to precisely target the tumor site. The gantry is particularly effective in treating hard-to-reach tumors and pediatric patients.

The inclined beam technology contains two treatment beams: one horizontal and one 60 degrees inclined from the horizontal. It can treat approximately 80 percent of the tumors that normally require the use of a gantry.

A closer look at the proton delivery system in the fixed beam room. The brass aperture at the end of the snout is customized for each patient. The hole in the middle of the brass aperture is shaped to match the outline of the patient's tumor so healthy tissue surrounding the tumor is blocked from the radiation.

ProCure Treatment Centers, Inc. and Ion Beam Applications (IBA) received FDA clearance of a new generation patient positioning system, designed by ProCure. The robotic system is designed for positioning patients for proton therapy.

The 220-ton cyclotron is 18-feet in diameter and 8-feet high.

The beam transport system distributes a beam of proton energy to each of the four treatment rooms quickly and efficiently. Photo courtesy of ProCure Treatment Centers, Inc.
