Proton therapy treatment delivery system IU Health Proton Therapy Center

Indiana University Cyclotron Facility - Bloomington, IN

Design, engineering and support services for the IU Health Proton Therapy Center are provided by Indiana University Cyclotron Operations (IUCO). The Strategic Physics Development Group with the engineers and technical staff at IUCO are part of the original team that designed and constructed the proton therapy system. In doing so they achieved and put into use a number of significant technological advances: the first clinical use of scanned beam delivery, and new and innovative methods for dose monitoring. In addition to servicing the IU Health Proton Therapy Center, IUCO continues to advance proton therapy technology through grant and contract funded research in collaboration with the physicians and staff at the IU Health Proton Therapy Center and at the IU Department of Radiation Oncology. IUCO business activities include a state-of-the-art machine shop that provides all the patient specific devices to the IU Health Proton Therapy Center and a Radiation Effects Research Program where NASA engineers and astronauts bring space bound equipment for tests in a simulated space radiation environment using proton beams.
