 |
The main
focus of the Advanced Treatment Systems division is the MM50
Racetrack ARTS which represents a new generation in advanced
radiotherapy treatment systems (ARTS).
The MM50 produces either high-energy electron or photon beams,
all shaped by the same double focused multileaf collimator and
intensity modulated by the same scanning system provides the
cornerstones for modern radiotherapy and future optimization
developments. As a result, the potential for efficient and successful
treatment of almost any malignant tumor is being realized. |

 |
Features and Benefits: |
 |
Low
to ultra-high energies
More effective, simpler and safer treatment techniques
for a wider range of malignancies and tumor locations
|
|
Optimized
for electrons
3D conformal therapy with electrons and/or photon and
photons beams; photon and electron fields can be optimally
combined for better dose distribution, with consideration
to tumor sensitivity and normal tissue tolerance |
|
Scanned
beams
Full control of the dose distribution of the beam, allowing
optimized intensity modulation of the target volume and
associated organs at risk; considerably improved beam
quality as there is no need for beam-deteriorating scattering
foils or flattening filters |
|
Racetrack
accelerator
Can simultaneously serve multiple treatment rooms and
be used for research purposes; produces very well defined
electron energies perfect for scanning and depth dose
modulation |
|
Integrated
system
Easy handling and flexible control of all treatment parameters;
single, uninterrupted treatment session, giving optimal
efficiency in the minimum of time |
|
 |
 |
|
Application: |
| MM50 is
a high-tech equipment for the treatment of cancer. By increasing
the energy of particles accelerated in compact equipment, the
MM50 improves the performance of conventional radiotherapy systems
but at a cost that is significantly lower than proton therapy.
