Today, Hampton University Proton Therapy Institute - HUPTI announced a partnership with Leo Cancer Care to develop an upright proton arc therapy treatment technique for cancer.
The technique will allow patients to stand or sit upright and, combined with an additional CT system, may better target tumors in patients.
Jefferson Lab is proud to contribute to these efforts by applying its nuclear physics and technology expertise to help pave the way for improvements in patient care.
This is a LEGO model of a miniature medical linear accelerator (LINAC) for radiation therapy.
The model is somewhat smaller than minifig scale.
Joyce positioned for radiation therapy to tonsil cancer. The mask is soft when warm, molded to the face as it cools. Then it can be fixed to the table on which the patient lies for treatment, assuring that she is in exactly the same position every day. This allows for precise calibration of the radiation beam's direction for each treatment.
