ProBeam® proton therapy system
Varian Medical Systems
Booth #1403
Varian’s ProBeam® proton therapy system is available in single-room and multi-room configuration. The system consists of one proton accelerator, and up to five fully rotational 360° gantry treatment rooms, or a variety of room configurations. Gain confidence that you’re on target with the integrated 360° CBCT technology that is utilized on over 5000 Varian Linear Accelerators. Linac-like treatment flexibility with the full 360° rotational gantry and ad-hoc KV-Xray imaging enables you to image anytime during treatment at your current gantry angle. Highly efficient Pencil Beam Scanning and automated workflow enables patient throughput that is similar in efficiency to modern linear accelerators.

Booth 1403
Varian’s HyperArc™ high-definition radiotherapy is an end-to-end solution for frameless, linear accelerator-based intracranial radiosurgery. It automates and simplifies the planning and delivery of sophisticated treatments such as stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to make them available to more cancer patients around the world. Virtually all elements needed for treatment of both simple and complex cases are incorporated, including simulation guidelines, patient immobilization, treatment planning, patient setup, intra-fraction imaging and a predetermined delivery sequence. HyperArc addresses concerns about complexity, patient safety, cost, and human resources that can make SRS inaccessible for many patients and unfeasible for many institutions. It capitalizes on the unique capabilities of Varian’s TrueBeam® and EDGE™ treatment platforms and is designed to enable consistent, high quality planning and seamless one-click delivery.
Hitachi
Booth 3349
The world’s only synchrotron-based single room solution, the synchrotron accelerator technology allows for less shielding thus minimizing the overall size of the layout and the concrete cost to the building. Compared with our past layout, Hitachi has minimized and optimized the configuration yet utilized the identical gantry and accelerator technology which has been proven with our multi-room solution.
The combination of Hitachi’s 360 degrees compact rotating gantry and 30 x 40 cm irradiation field size enables users to widely treat many tumor sites. In addition, Hitachi’s spot scanning technology allows Intensity Modulated Proton Therapy (IMPT) under fully-integrated Image guidance with gantry mounted isocentric CBCT. Our system is capable of interfacing with any motion management solutions, treatment planning system and oncology information system.
