New Polish medical accelerator "Coline 15" will compete efficiently with ... - Computerworld.pl

According to the description on pages NCBJ:

“Designed using the latest technology accelerator Coline 15, allows you to conduct radical radiotherapy and specialized procedures beams of photons and electrons with energies from 6 to 15 MeV high dose rate. Equipped standard with a system of portal imaging collimator asymmetric communication interface for system management and optional collimator wielolistkowy provides high precision and stability of radiation. “

Experts mention but also on other characteristics that speak in favor of the new accelerator. Coline 15 is also much smaller and lighter than alternative devices, used in the world. Still, of course, we are talking of more than a ton. Despite this, the new Polish accelerator suitable for transport already. No major problems, you can ride him, for example, to the operating room. Why is it so important? Because the radiation exposed the tumor – even during operation – is much more effective and safer than the same process, but the patient mend. In the latter case, since this takes place through other body surfaces. Irradiation are so healthy cells, and it is never safe and usually only accepted in the framework of the “lesser evil”.

However, one of the best information on Coline may be the fact that the cost of producing the device is estimated to be “not high” and acceptable for smaller institutions. It is a chance that the new Coline sacrifice not only for the best equipped departments of oncology. May.
