"Blast" at a fixed point!The first tumor proton treatment system in Central China was settled in Tongji Hospital

Wuhan Evening News, July 28th, on July 28, as a proton accelerator slowly lifted up to 15 tons with large cranes, it was steadily placed in the Northeast Northeast Proton Treatment Center of Tongji Hospital at Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Inside, the first proton therapy system in Central China was successfully lifted.

The first proton therapy system in Central China was successfully lifted.

Proton is a charged particle. These charged particles "destroy" the DNA of tumor cells, thereby preventing the normal copy of tumor cells to destroy tumor cells. Proton accelerators can accelerate proton rays to specific energy and accurately projected into tumor tissue. Proton therapy uses this characteristic to achieve non -invasive and accurate "irradiation" blows. It is currently the most advanced in vitro radiotherapy method.

The full -process optimization proton therapy system equipped with the proton treatment center of Tongji Hospital is called "Big White Missile". This "Big White Missile" first combines the world's first full-digitized 2-meter-high-axis vision PET-CT with the world's first integrated single-ventricular proton treatment system that can cover the whole body of the human body at the same time. The target area accurate positioning, diagnostic grade image accurate guidance, ultra -high -speed proton ray accurate irradiation, and precise tumor precision strike system composed of accurate measurement in internal dose, which truly achieves the foundation, accurate, and cure for malignant tumors.

Under the precise control of the doctor, the "Black Missile" can instantly release the radioactive nucleo energy that conforms to the shape and depth of the tumor, accurately "fixed-point blasting" to remove the tumor, and at the same time, the full digital 2m PET-CT system is added, just like giving the tumor for the tumor Like the "Weber telescope" equipped with the treatment, grasping the nuclein window period for several minutes after proton treatment, "observe" the internal tumor shape, metabolic conditions and the positive ion activity of the human body within 30 seconds of scanning time, accurately identify And confirm the killing of tumors.

Proton center.

It is understood that after the completion of the proton center, it will fill the blank of cutting -edge tumor diagnosis and treatment technology in the region, and it is another milestone that enhances the level of tumor treatment in Central China. The radius of the proton accelerator of this lifting is only 0.9 meters and weighs only 15 tons. It can accelerate the proton to 70%of the speed of light. accelerator. As the core component of the proton therapy system, its lifting marks the entry of Tongji Hospital's proton therapy center. At present, the 2m PET-CT project is accelerating, and it is expected to be installed and commissioned in October this year. The proton therapy center will be officially put into clinical use next year.

At present, proton radiotherapy is a recognized internationally recognized tumor tumor -tip radiation therapy technology and is known as the pearl in the crown of tumor radiotherapy. Compared with the X -ray used by traditional radiotherapy, after the proton rays enter the human body, they will release weak energy first, and then release all energy after reaching tumor cells, and can accurately "fixed -point blasting" on tumor lesions. In addition, due to the high accuracy of proton rays, it is almost not hurting the normal cells around the tumor. The side effects are small and the risk of recurrence is low. It can significantly reduce the pain of patients, accurately crack down on cancer cells, and extend the survival of patients.

Anthology in the cabin.

"Many patients with tumor patients who are limited by side effects and cannot undergo traditional radiotherapy will be expected to get treatment opportunities. Generally, they are suitable for groups that receive radiation therapy, which are basically suitable for proton treatment, including brain, eye, head and neck, breast, breasts, breasts, breasts, breasts, breasts, breasts, breasts, breasts, breasts, breasts, breasts, breasts, and breasts. A variety of malignant tumors such as lung, esophagus, liver, rectum, prostate, etc. In addition, proton therapy has obvious advantages in various recurrent tumors and early childhood physical tumors. " Tongji Hospital introduces a proton therapy system, which will aim at establishing world -class proton therapy clinical applications, education and training, scientific research and transformation platforms.
