Superconducting magnets have multiple benefits; not only are they dramatically smaller in size, weight and power consumption, they also have a magnetic field 2x higher than those used in today's cyclotrons and gantries, in addition to a 0.5x bend radius. Taking advantage of this technology, the SC360 system maintains 360° rotation similar to radiation therapy, while the dramatically smaller size and weight allows for ample room for full ring imaging at isocenter and simplified shipping and installation, reducing cost and time to market.
