Device Description
The S-250 is a low cost, one-room integrated device designed to administer proton radiation treatments to patients through delivery of a predetermined radiation dose to a pre-determined three dimensional treatment target volume in a manner that protects the patient, and hospital staff, from unnecessary exposure to radiation and other hazards.
The S-250 design requires a very compact proton accelerator which is supported on a rotating gantry such that a proton treatment beam can be directed toward the rotational center of the gantry over a range of about 180 degrees (straight up to straight down). The gantry holds the cyclotron at a large enough distance from the rotating arm(s) that a full treatment room floor can be extended around the treatment center and a treatment couch can support a patient over a large rotational (couch) range at isocenter.
The system will be a completely integrated system incorporating all functionality necessary to efficiently treat patients with proton beams. As such it incorporates near real time radiographic based patient alignment and coupled patient support devices (couch) with broad flexibility for supporting the patient relative to the treatment beam. The couch is capable of six-degree-of-freedom adjustment and be able to rotate about a vertical axis in a range of about 270 degrees, so as to provide full coverage of beam directions typically used in radiation therapy
To keep high precision of alignment of the field specific device (range compensator and apertures) to the patient, these devices will be supported on a separate gantry, close to the treatment center and not physically connected to the large gantry supporting the cyclotron. This will lighten the aiming requirements for the large gantry.
The S-250 is a proton beam irradiation system, which provides a therapeutic proton beam for clinical treatment. It is designed to deliver a proton beam with the prescribed dose and dose distribution to the prescribed patient treatment site as provided by a separately marketed Treatment Planning System (TPS) not distributed by Mevion Medical Systems. The S-250™ is comprised of two main components. One is a beam delivery system whose primary responsibility is to ensure that the prescription parameters are properly delivered. The other is the beam generating system whose function is to generate the proton beam and direct it to the beam delivery system.

The other is the beam generating system whose function is to generate the proton beam and direct it to the beam delivery system.
Technological Comparison:
The Mevion S-250 does not require new technical innovations beyond existing technologies, as described below:
High field magnet - A magnetic field of sufficient strength everywhere in the cyclotron to meet the requirements for reasonable single treatment room implementation. Magnets of this field strength are made with superconducting wire.
Radiofrequency System - Rapidly varying radiofrequency systems have been constructed for synchrocyclotrons in the past.
Ion Source and Cyclotron Central Region - The Ion Source / Central region takes into account the very small radius of curvature of the low energy ion beam in very high magnetic fields. This will require that any physical object spanning the acceleration plane to be much smaller than the orbit spacing achieved with the given radiofrequency power / voltage.
Beam Extraction System - Follows the design of previous synchrocyclotrons and superconducting cyclotrons. However this will be the highest magnetic field cyclotron so that design of the magnetic field perturbations with machined steel magnet pole pieces will be more constrained than in prior experience.
The Vacuum System - designed using conventional components.

The Gantry - constructed of steel and aluminum components fastened together by welds and/or bolts in conventional fashion.
Field Shaping - a straightforward design extension of the double scattering systems developed by Gottschalk et al at the Harvard Cyclotron.
Dosimetry - designed and constructed following conventional radiotherapy beam dosimetry standard techniques.
C-Inner Gantry, Applicator and Applicator Changing System - does not require any advanced design or fabrication techniques.
Radiographic systems - straightforward adaptation of existing digital radiographic systems (x-ray tubes, generators, and amorphous silicon imaging panels.
