The proton radiation therapy machine that is as good as gold – Atrium Health

Atrium Health shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Do you wish the Olympics weren’t ending?

Us too. That’s why we are cheering for the proton radiation therapy machine that is as good as gold.

Coming this September, this innovative technology will be able to treat the most sensitive cancers in both adult and pediatric patients in a noninvasive way due to its ability to treat cancer without harming surrounding tissue.

It’s powered by the massive cyclotron that weighs 110 tons, is 7 feet wide and 3 stories tall!

Stay tuned as we work to defeat cancer.”
