IBA (Ion Beam Applications)
IBA (Ion Beam Applications), of Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, is the largest supplier of proton therapy equipment: its Proteus One and Proteus Plus systems equip proton centres worldwide, and it also builds cyclotrons for PET isotope production. Proton therapy's capital cost is the problem its compact systems try to answer.
Overview
IBA, Ion Beam Applications, based in Louvain-la-Neuve in Belgium, is the largest supplier of proton therapy equipment. Its Proteus One and Proteus Plus systems equip proton centres worldwide, and it also makes cyclotrons for PET isotope production and supports actinium-225 research. OnCo links it to proton therapy and proton arc therapy, to medical cyclotrons and synthesis modules, to centres including Centre Antoine Lacassagne, Uppsala, UZ Leuven and the West German Cancer Center in Essen, and to ideas such as compact FLASH and proton systems at the price of a conventional linac and pooled coverage-with-evidence for proton therapy across all centres. Whether proton therapy can be made cheap enough to be judged on evidence rather than capital cost is the open question its compact systems address. The proton therapy page carries the trial detail.
