Proton Therapy System PROBEAT Series
Major specification
Scanning system : standard
Image Guided Patient Positioning System
Hitachi Particle Therapy system has 3D/3D, 3D/2D matching mode for image guided patient positioning system.*1
6- Degree of Freedom(DOF) automatic matching for patient positioning can be used for daily treatment.
Gantry-mounted Cone Beam CT
The rotating gantry mounted CBCT system*2 provides three-dimensional anatomical images of patients, at isocenter immediately prior to being treated.
It is possible to perform the patient positioning at isocenter which contributes to improve treatment throughput.
Standard specification in PROBEAT Series.
Real-time Image Gating System
Since targets such as lung or liver will move due to respiration or other factors, motion management system is required to satisfy the following items.
Recognizing the moving tumor position in real time
Accurate irradiation for moving tumors
Technology for moving targets
Hitachi’s Real-time image Gating system for Proton Therapy(RGPT) is an innovation that enables an accurate high dose beam delivery to moving tumors while sparing surrounding healthy tissues and organs.
RGPT recognizes the position of fiducial marker inserted near the tumor and irradiate only when the marker is within the specified range
Image Guided Patient Positioning System(3D/3D, 3D/2D) : standard
Real-time Image Gating System for Proton : optional
Respiratory Gating System : optional
Third party compatibility in Respiratory Gating System
Hitachi’s particle therapy system has compatibility with Respiratory Gating System which is also used in X-ray radiotherapy.
