The pioneering proton team at the Kling Proton Therapy Center has been working diligently for the past several months running the MEVION S250 through independent and rigorous clinical quality assurance tests to ensure that system specifications, safety, and reliability requirements are met. "The advanced clinical workflow provided by the MEVION S250 and its full integration within the clinic has made it simple and straightforward to train the radiation therapy staff and prepare their clinic for day-to-day treatments", said Dr. Stanley Rosenthal, Vice President of Clinical Systems and Education. "The initial training experience of the therapists demonstrates that the MEVION S250 workflow and delivery times are comparable to today's image-guided radiation therapy techniques."
"The teams from Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Mevion have worked tirelessly and diligently to arrive at this seminal event. The opportunity to bring a revolutionary medical device into routine clinical use that will improve the lives of many people around the globe isn't something that happens often. We have all been touched by this event and we couldn't be prouder to be a part of this team," added Jachinowski.
