PSI and its Center for Proton Therapy (CPT) is extending its research capabilities in the field of proton therapy and pencil beam scanning technology. Gantry 3 will be an additional treatment room at the PROSCAN facility at PSI, Villigen, Switzerland. It will feature a 360 degree scanning Gantry delivered by Varian Medical Systems. The Gantry design is based on Varian technology, which will be combined with advanced PSI active scanning technology. The further development of fast energy switching as well as precise spot and continuous line scanning irradiation modes are main research topics at the PROSCAN facility. A major challenge with Gantry 3 is the link of the existing PSI PROSCAN system with the Varian PROBEAM system, while retaining the system integrity and high performance level. Additionally, Gantry 3 will be installed and commissioned while keeping the other treatment rooms (Gantry 1, Gantry 2, Optis 2) in full operation. The current development and project status is presented.
