This study presents an innovative hospital proton therapy facility design, featuring multiple independent treatment rooms and a cost-effective pencil-beam scanning system. The design offers a 25-30% cost increase over conventional photon therapy facilities.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Facility Design

Background:

  • Proton therapy offers precise radiation delivery for cancer treatment.
  • Existing facility designs can be complex and costly.
  • Need for efficient and scalable proton therapy infrastructure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe an innovative design for a hospital-based proton therapy facility.
  • To present two layout options: single-level (3600 m2) and three-level (700-720 m2).
  • To detail the technical specifications and cost-effectiveness of the proposed design.

Main Methods:

  • Design of a facility with 5-6 simultaneous, independent treatment rooms.
  • Utilizing a 250 MeV H-synchrotron accelerator for pencil-beam scanning.

  • Incorporating well-tested beam delivery systems, including an isocentric gantry.

    • Main Results:

    • The design enables simultaneous and independent operation of multiple treatment rooms.
    • The small beam emittance reduces magnet size, weight, and shielding requirements.
    • Estimated initial cost is only 25-30% higher than conventional photon therapy facilities.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed design offers an innovative and cost-effective solution for hospital-based proton therapy.
    • The design facilitates efficient patient treatment through simultaneous room usage.
    • This approach makes advanced proton therapy more accessible.
