ConformalFLASH®
IBA - ASTRO Booth 1923
ConformalFLASH® has the potential to revolutionize the radiation therapy world. It will enable shorter treatment course with only 1 to 3 fractions which increases significantly patient comfort and overall throughput and less toxicity in healthy tissues while maintaining tumor control. As the industry leader, IBA is collaborating with several leading proton therapy centers in their pioneering research work to better understand the mechanisms of FLASH irradiation.
* ConformalFLASH® is a registered brand of the IBA's Proton Flash therapy solution currently under research and development phase.

DynamicARC®
IBA - ASTRO Booth 1923
IBA is developing a novel proton therapy delivery technique called DynamicARC®. This technique allows dynamic irradiation while the gantry is rotating. It offers the advantages of Pencil Beam Scanning (PBS) and the properties of the Bragg peak with no exit dose. The rationale for developing DynamicARC® is the same rationale that fueled the shift from IMRT to VMAT treatment in conventional RT: the ability to deliver faster, easier, and more conformal (sharper) treatments.

IBA Motion Management Solution
IBA - ASTRO Booth 1923
Motion management tools are needed to ensure accurate treatment delivery by managing the challenges caused by tumor motion. With motion management, a proton therapy clinic will be able to treat more patients with more confidence. This is the reason why IBA is dedicated to offering an integrated solution for motion management that meets the medical needs.
Ranger-300
Logos Systems International
The Ranger-300 proton beam range verification tool gives a real-time view of 30 cm of the proton beam path as it travels toward its target depth, including the Bragg peak area, and proximal/distal locations of interest.
When mounted on the Logos Systems XRV-3000 Eagle or XRV-4000 Hawk phantom, the Ranger is oriented so the beam enters the 40 x 40 mm target window of the 305 mm transparent scintillator block. It is close to tissue equivalence, and the effective resolution is better than 0.5 mm over energy ranges from 70 to 230 MeV. Powerful BraggPeakView software performs the depth analysis.
