Siemens is currently preparing, installing and commissioning three IONTRIS particle therapy accelerator systems - two in Germany, in Marburg and Kiel, and one in Shanghai, China. Siemens IONTRIS is based on a synchrotron to accelerate protons and carbon ions for clinical applications up to 250 MeV resp. 430 MeV/u. The injector part consists of an RFQ to accelerate protons and light ions up to 400 keV/u followed by an IH-cavity, wherein the particles achieve 7 MeV/u. The results of the commissioning of the RFQ in the test facility in Denmark will be presented. *Particle Therapy is a work in progress and requires country-specific regulatory approval prior to clinical use. |
