The Rigging of the superconducting cyclotron of Proton system

The Varian Probeam Proton therapy system introduced by GCCC consists of a set of proton cyclotron and beam transport system, with four 360 ° rotating frame treatment rooms. Its pen beam scanning technology enables clinicians to achieve accurate dose delivery, so as to reduce the radiation dose to healthy tissues. Combined with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), this system can realize advanced adaptive therapy in the treatment process and provide more accurate proton therapy for patients. With the installation of Varian probeam Proton therapy system, GCCC will be able to provide high-quality and humanized radiotherapy services for cancer patients in Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao and the whole South China region. As an authoritative mobile publishing platform of Guangdong provincial Party committee and government, "Southern plus" has given a key and in-depth report on this construction progress. In addition, other media also have many forwarding or follow-up reports, including Tencent, Netease News portal and media over mobile phone.
