Synchro-Cyclotron
8-10 T 250 MeV Synchro-cyclotron on a gantry
However:
No beam analysis
=> distal penumbra = 5.7 mm
at all E
scattering or scanning
Pulsed beam => scanning difficult
$ per treatment room > for multiroom
From Company data:
•
dose rate: 2-4 Gy/min
•
head leakage neutrons?
•
lateral penumbra
