The PaRtiCLE proton center (PARTICLE) KU Leuven
UZ Leuven and its partners are completing the construction of the first Belgian proton therapy center ParTICLe. The proton therapy center benefits from a unique configuration with two independent cyclotrons, one dedicated to the clinic and the other dedicated to research, both of which deliver protons up to 230 MeV, in two separate rooms. Because of its proximity to the MoSAIC, the research beam line could ideally be used to demonstrate specific effects of protons in pre-clinical models, especially those related to high dose rates (FLASH) but also more complex radiological effects such as ...
