The Marburg Ion-Beam Therapy Center is Germany's second facility providing a highly precise cancer treatment with hydrogen and carbon ions using the raster scanning method. The accelerator control system is part of a medical product resulting in strict constraints which must be considered in each maintenance step of the accelerator control system. Furthermore, the medical application...
Gunma University Heavy Ion Medical Center has provided a carbon ion radiotherapy by a compact carbon ion accelerator since 2010. Carbon ions are generated in a permanent-magnet ECR ion source and accelerated in RFQ linac and APF-IH linac. The carbon ions are accelerated up to 400 MeV/u in a synchrotron and extracted to treatment rooms with a beam intensity of 1.3×10^9 particles per second....
From now seven years, Institut Curie-CPO has a shared contract of maintenance with the supplier of his Particle Therapy facility. The two main reasons of this decision were: 1. the connection of this new device to the two historic beamlines 2. the existing local team already involved in Particle Therapy Equipment, including the particle accelerator. We will mainly describe:
- the principles...
