Heavy Ions Are 12 Times More Massive Than Protons,
Allowing for Superior Control & Targeting Precision

Heavy Ion Therapy utilises Bragg Peak to deliver accurate high radiation dose to deep seated tumors while limiting radiation dose to surrounding tissues. The Bragg peak refers to the sharp increase in energy deposition at a specific depth during the passage of ionizing radiation. In Heavy Ion Therapy, Bragg Peak’s is sharper, allowing for better delineation between the malignant tumor and healthy tissue.

Principle of Heavy Ion Therapy (Bragg Peak)

Carbon ions, accelerated to 70% of the speed of light, will be precisely targeted at the tumor from a calculated distance to maximize radiation dose at the Bragg Peak, while minimizing entry and exit exposure to healthy surrounding tissues.
