The arrival of the accelerator commences the installation of the proton system at the David C. Pratt Cancer Center at Mercy St. Louis. - Reducing the size and complexity of a proton therapy system has allowed more hospitals to adopt proton therapy without the enormous expenditures and space requirements of other proton systems.
- To date, over 6,000 patients have been treated on Mevion proton therapy systems, more than on any other compact system.
- Mevions flagship product, the MEVION S250i Proton Therapy System with HYPERSCAN pencil beam scanning, is the worlds smallest proton therapy system that eliminates the obstacles of size, complexity, and cost that exists with other proton therapy systems.
