The prototype radiotherapy system combines a fixed vertical radiation beam with horizontal patient rotation. (Courtesy: Paul Liu) Radiation therapy plays a fundamental role in cancer treatment, but ...

The fixed beam uses a horizontal proton beam that’s fixed in place. This system can target and treat most tumors. The delivery system doesn’t move, but the therapy is as precise and effective as ...

They have a fixed direction of beam and it can only be switched between high beam and low beam. This makes it difficult to drive when there are multiple turns on the road or when the slope of the road ...

One of the Proton Therapy Center's three rotatinggantrystyle proton-beam-delivery systems (above). A compensator and an aperture produced by the Beam Team (below). The Beam Team's fully equipped ...

Variable beam expanders however allow for adjustment in the lens spacing for divergence compensation, with the magnification level remaining fixed. Our zoom beam expanders offer infinitely variable ...

Jordan Chiles, who had two beam falls in qualifying on Saturday, said she noticed part of the beam was wet in her 30-second warm-up before her routine Tuesday. “I tried covering it before I could do ...
