John Pettingell, Chief Physicist & Head of Radiotherapy at the Rutherford Cancer Centres, will describe his experience in delivering the UKs first high energy proton therapy service on Saturday, April 21st, from 3:45 PM to 4:15 PM at IBA's booth, #1400.
Securing the future in proton therapy
OncoRay – National Center for Radiation Research in Oncology, Dresden, Germany, is a leading research center with very advanced research in particle physics and radiation therapy. OncoRay is jointly operated by the Faculty of Medicine and the University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus at the Technical University Dresden and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, Dresden. As part of the joint R&D program with IBA, OncoRay is currently working on the development of an MR-integrated proton therapy solution.

Partnering with key market leaders in radiation oncology for optimal healthcare solutions
Following its open integration approach, IBA will showcase multiple workflow solutions to integrate proton therapy in the clinic.
IBA offers perfect integration with Elekta's MOSAIQ® oncology information system that will be demonstrated at IBA's booth. IBA and Elekta have signed a memorandum of understanding in order to develop, among others, new functionalities for proton therapy treatment in Elekta's Monaco® treatment planning system and MOSAIQ® oncology information system and provide clinical pathway-driven adaptive particle therapy. The purpose is to offer a seamless experience across modalities for comprehensive radiotherapy departments and further improve patient care.
IBA is in a long-term strategic collaboration with Philips. By combining their respective expertise in image guidance and therapy, Philips and IBA continue to co-innovate in diagnostic and therapeutic oncology solutions with the ultimate objective of enabling more effective and personalized cancer care. Proton Partners International chose to partner with IBA and Philips in an ambitious plan to build a network of state-of-the-art proton therapy centers in the UK, and in the Middle East. All centers will integrate IBA's latest Image Guided IMPT combined with Philips' Pinnacle3 Treatment Planning System, as well as Philips' Big Bore CT, and Philips' Ambient Experience, a patient-focused healthcare environment designed to create a more comfortable and soothing experience for patients and staff.
