Unveiling revolutionary FlashDeep™ design: THERYQ is thrilled to reveal the new design of FlashDeep, a system featuring Very High Energy Electron (VHEE) Flash beamline based on CERN technology, and Leo Cancer Care’s Marie upright patient positioning chair.
THERYQ has signed an agreement with The Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois (CHUV) in Lausanne, Switzerland and the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) to develop FLASHDEEP, a revolutionary FLASH radiotherapy device that will use very high energy electron (VHEE) radiation to treat cancers resistant to conventional treatments. The first device, based on CERN technology, will be installed at CHUV.
By integrating the innovative compact linear accelerator technology developed by CERN, FLASHDEEP will use very high energy electron beams (VHEE) of 100 to 200 MeV, 10 to 20 times more powerful than those of FLASHKNiFE. This extra power will allow FLASH treatment of all types of cancers up to a depth of 20 cm.
VHEE FLASH technology has several advantages. High-energy electron beams can be shaped and transported in a way that is not possible with X-rays, and radiotherapy devices based on CERN’s electron accelerator technology will be significantly more compact and less expensive than current proton-based therapy facilities.
