The scanning magnet subsystem, which provides the capability to accurately 'paint' the targeted tumour with protons, has now been produced. This is an essential part of the directional dose delivery system (or Nozzle System), which remains on schedule.
Progress at the Harley Street site remains on-track with the next stage of sub-structural work progressing well. Having completed the piling, further excavation work is now in progress and the Company will continue to provide on-site video updates through the Advanced Oncotherapy website.

Commenting, Nicolas Serandour, CEO of Advanced Oncotherapy, said: "I am very pleased that the technological development of our LIGHT system remains on track and, with protons accelerated through three of the main four accelerating structures, the proton source, RFQ and SCDTL, and the design of the fourth accelerating structure already proven, we are confident that we will have a proton therapy system capable of treating superficial tumours by the end of Q3 next year.
"As we come to the end of the year I am delighted that we enter 2018 in a strong position, not only through the technological developments achieved to date, but also through the security of longer-term financing now completed and with good progress to report at our flagship Harley Street site."
