Radiation therapy firm Varian Medical Systems has received a CE Mark for its latest ProBeam proton therapy system.
Varian's ProBeam system with Dynamic Peak scanning gives clinicians the ability to deliver dose precisely to minimize dose to healthy tissue, the firm said. Irradiations from multiple angles are combined to improve control of dose distributions, and scanning beam technology eliminates the need to manually insert separate shaping accessories for each beam angle to match the beam to the shape of the tumor, according to Varian.
