Advance Particle Radiotherapy Technology – BNCT & PT from Ray System Corporation

Abstract

Advanced particle radiotherapy represented by Proton Therapy and Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) can achieve more accurate dose delivery, thereby killing tumor cells while protecting normal tissues to the maximum extent. They have broad prospects in modern tumor treatment technology. Continuous development and optimization of equipment at the technical level are the basic guarantee for improving clinical effects. This article briefly describes Boron Neutron Capture Therapy and Proton Therapy, some discussions are given on the challenges of these two type devices development. Combining future development needs, this article presented an overview of the boron neutron capture therapy device and the high-frequency linear proton therapy device developed by Ray System Corporation, which are expected to be used as effective tools for further development and improvement of advanced treatment technologies
