Proton beam delivery to 2 or more treatment areas, 2 or more ports, 2 or more custom blocks and virtual compensators; intermediate

AI EXPLANATION: Proton beam therapy is an advanced type of radiation treatment that uses positively charged particles (protons) rather than traditional X-rays to destroy cancer cells and tumors. In an intermediate treatment session, clinicians direct radiation beams into two or more distinct target areas using customized shaping tools and specialized positioning filters. These custom devices contour the proton beam to match the specific shape and depth of the target tissue, helping deliver high-dose radiation directly to the target area while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues and organs.
