The reporter learned from the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences that, on the 27th, the Wuwei Medical Heavy Ion Accelerator system independently developed by the agency completed a third-party test report after it was fully tested. This indicates that China's independently developed medical heavy ion therapy The demonstration device completes the registration and testing work and enters the clinical trial stage. It is expected to be officially put into treatment at the end of the year.
According to the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuwei Medical Heavy Ion Therapy Demonstration Device formally initiated clinical trials, marking that the medical heavy ion accelerator system has completed the key stage from basic research to livelihood application.
According to the briefing, the Institute of Modern Physics began the basic research of heavy ion cancer treatment technology in 1993. After more than 20 years of technological accumulation and scientific research, it mastered the related hardware technologies such as cyclotron injectors, synchrotron accelerators, and treatment beds, and independently developed treatment plans. Software for treatment control, etc., introduced key technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data, applied for more than 60 patents, and built two demonstration devices for medical heavy ion accelerators with completely independent intellectual property rights in Wuwei City and Lanzhou City, Gansu Province. A high-level heavy ion beam therapy research and treatment device R&D talent team.
The reporter also learned that at present, the Lanzhou carbon ion therapy system has completed the installation of the main equipment and started debugging. At this point, Gansu Province already has six large-scale heavy ion accelerators, becoming a truly 'heavy ion' province.
