However medics from MGH (Boston) suggested alternative concept which leads to decrease both cost and size of the facility*. The concept is based on the following provisions: - immovable isocenter; - active scanning of a target volume; - different positions of patients at different fractions: - using CT on the place of irradiation after each change of positions of the patient for improvement plan; - using small change direction of the beam (like ±100). The "Planar isocentric system" developed by author can be used to enlarge the flexibility of the concept**. It's relatively chip, small and can be realized for short time. It can be used for treatment for 90% of localizations. The system can replace gantry in centers of proton/ion therapy providing significant decreasing of treatment price. The details of the system are presented and discussed.
