Cancer Treatment
RF Amplifier and Digital LLRF Systems for Cancer Treatment
Thomson Broadcast is aiding the development of non-invasive cancer treatment by offering products for particle therapy, an accelerator-based treatment method using beams of protons, carbon ions, and neutrons.
Thomson Broadcast currently partners with companies such as Siemens Healthcare and Varian Medical Systems Particle Therapy GmbH to deliver RF amplifier systems and Low Level RF Control Systems for cancer radiation therapy.
Siemens Healthcare offers a complete system for particle therapy with protons and carbon ions using a linear and synchrotron accelerator. It is the first standardized solution for particle therapy with protons and carbon ions in one system.
Thomson Broadcast has entered into a frame contract with Varian for the design and supply of a RF amplifier system for use with the super-conducting cyclotron of the Varian accelerator system.
