摘要: In this paper we report on the main design features, realization process and selected first results of initial commissioning new Gantry 2 PSI for delivery proton therapy with advanced pencil beam scanning techniques. We present briefly characteristics gantry system emphasis optics, characterization used performance system. The idea is to give an overview major components whole long-term technical goal equipment expand use spectrum clinical indications including moving targets. here experience problems encountered in development preliminary ongoing 2.
