Radiation therapy firm Varian Medical Systems of Palo Alto, CA, is introducing its new ProBeam proton therapy system at the 2010 Particle Therapy Co-operative Group (PTCOG) meeting in Gunma, Japan, this week.
The ProBeam system incorporates imaging, gating, robotic patient positioning, treatment planning, and oncology information software to enhance treatment quality for patients and to improve workflow efficiency for clinicians.
It features Varian's dynamic peak integrated scanning technology, which creates a precise radiation dose on the target volume, enabling intensity-modulated proton therapy, as well as proprietary pencil-beam scanning technology, which allows for precise dose distribution.
