ERHA, the proton therapy made in Italy<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>

ERHA (Enhanced Radiotherapy with Hadrons) is the innovative proton therapy system developed by LinearBeam for the treatment of tumors.<\/p>\n

This is a different and definitely more advanced technology than proton accelerators currently on the market as:<\/p>\n<\/div>

  • <\/i><\/span>
    \n

    it is the first in the world to have a p-Linac<\/strong> specifically designed for clinical use, which is able to replace extremely expensive cyclotrons or synchrotrons<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

  • <\/i><\/span>
    \n

    it requires an area of less than 100sqm. and is therefore easy to set up at most hospital sites<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

  • <\/i><\/span>
    \n

    each component is installed by a single company and managed by a single integrated software<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

  • <\/i><\/span>
    \n

    it can be equipped with more adjoining treatment rooms<\/strong> with a gradually higher energy release<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

  • <\/i><\/span>
    \n

    the system is completed within merely 30 months from the beginning of the implementation works<\/strong>. From the 9th month, an experimental radiobiological room will be available and from the 18th month, it will be possible to carry out pediatric, orbital and ocular treatments<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>
