Critical milestones to launch a proton therapy center
When an oncology center decides to embark on the proton therapy journey, there are three important phases to consider, and the choice of the right partner is important in all of them:
- Design
Many institutions are considering adding a new proton therapy system to their cancer center or existing radiation oncology department, but they are often challenged by the complexity of planning and starting a proton therapy project.
IBA supports and helps oncology centers to clearly identify their objectives and define the exact equipment needs in terms of functionalities and scale. We provide business, technical, and construction support, in a logic of flexibility and adaptability
- Develop
Once the design and building phase has been completed, the next phase consists in the proton system installation, training, clinical commissioning and patient ramp-up.
IBA moves quickly to perform rigging, installation, and validation testing, collaborating with all stakeholders and ensuring all requirements are met.
- Treat
Once a center starts treating patients with proton therapy, the system’s performance is essential to ensure smooth clinical operations
IBA provides robust on-site and remote support, reliable intelligent maintenance services, optimized spare part management, regular system updates and improvements as well as access to the largest proton therapy community, to support its users.
