  • Medical Technology

Background:

  • Proton therapy offers precise radiation delivery for cancer treatment.
  • Compact proton therapy systems aim to increase accessibility and reduce costs.
  • Evaluating operational metrics is crucial for system validation and optimization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze operational metrics of a novel compact proton therapy system over five years.
  • To assess clinical case mix, subsystem utilization, and beam delivery quality assurance.
  • To determine the system's versatility and robustness in treating diverse patient cases.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of patient-specific data from 850 patients (25,567 fractions).
  • Evaluation of beam delivery parameters for 3,585 beams.
  • Assessment of gantry and patient positioning system performance and utilization.
  • Inclusion of machine performance metrics and uptime data.

Main Results:

  • System components maintained tight mechanical tolerances over five years.
  • Beam parameters remained within acceptable limits with no significant trends.
  • Utilization analysis revealed selective use of gantry angles and beam parameters.
