Proton Therapy
Proton therapy, or proton beam therapy, is a type of radiation therapy used to treat cancer. At a high energy, the positively charged particles can destroy cancer cells.
This photo shows an IBA proton therapy gantry suite. Currently there are about 10 operational proton beam systems in the United States.
