A.V. Stepanovª, M.F. Vorogushin Federal State Unitary Enterprise Efremov Scientific Research Institute of Electrophysical Apparatus, Saint-Petersburg, Russia Abstract The ring sector cyclotron is one of possible basic accelerators to be used in the centers for proton therapy. In our report we present the main parameters of an RC-18/210 ring cyclotron, which uses a CC-18/9 cyclotron as an injector. A layout of the equipment of the center is suggested including separate shielded rooms equipped with gantries for the cancer treatment. ª – corresponding author |

A.V. Stepanovª, M.F. Vorogushin Federal State Unitary Enterprise Efremov Scientific Research Institute of Electrophysical Apparatus, Saint-Petersburg, Russia Abstract One of the main problems of the clinical medicine is to make a timely diagnosis of a decease. Compared to many other examination methods, the radionuclide diagnostics provides most complete and reliable information on pathologies; this method is characterized with a high sensitivity, high-speed analysis and a painless process of patients' examination. The high sensitivity of the radionuclide diagnostics allows a disease to be identified at the initial stage, which is very important for successful treatment. The unique specific feature of the radionuclide diagnostics is a possibility for choosing the most proper procedure of treatment and control of the treatment process. ª – corresponding author |
