The MEVION S250-FIT is intended to deliver proton radiation treatment to patients with localized tumors or any other conditions susceptible to treatment by radiation. When the patient is in the fully seated position, the MEVION S250-FIT is indicated for treatment of patients with localized tumors and other conditions susceptible to treatment by radiation in the sites above the mid-chest or carina.This configuration includes an optional subsystem for 2D image verification using oblique x-rays to verify patient alignment prior to beam delivery.
An assembly of devices/sub-systems designed to produce and deliver a transverse- and longitudinal-dose proton beam to treat localized tumours and other conditions susceptible to treatment by radiation. It typically consists of components for beam production, transport and delivery; patient positioning; system and component control; and software. It will typically be configured to a particular site’s requirements.
