Proton Treatment Centers
MIBS Hardware and Team
Since 2017 St. MIBS, which actively performs proton therapy in St. Petersburg, uses the latest technological products of Varian, a leader in its field, and works with experienced radiation oncology specialists who apply radiosurgery and radiation therapy.
With the tumors, 360-degree rotating irradiation portal and robotic patient table, proton irradiation treatment can be applied to the patient in the shortest distance and reliable way.
With the Varian ProBeam proton irradiation system, two therapy rooms, patients are irradiated with a pen beam scanning system called PBS. As the name suggests, the PBS technique takes its name from the radiation beam, which is the tip of a sharp pencil layering on the tumor.
We have given our top priority to the training of our medical team and medical physicists. Before the MIBS proton therapy center was opened, our medical team was trained in leading medical institutions in Europe and America and centers experienced in stereotactic radiotherapy and proton therapy for many years. The centers where our specialists receive training are Maryland Proton Treatment Center, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Yale University, Smilow Cancer Center USA, Switzerland Paul Scherrer Institute and other treatment centers.
Our doctors and medical physicists work with the Roberts Proton Therapy Center in Pennsylvania, USA, to plan the best treatment for patients.
