Elekta will integrate cancer workflow and patient management tools into the Proteus TK2, a proton therapy center from Belgium-based Ion Beam Applications (IBA).

The IBA proton therapy system includes a cyclotron, beam line, gantry treatment room and a fixed-beam treatment room.

Stockholm-based Elekta software and devices included in the Proteus TK2 center are the MOSAIQ oncology information system; auto-segmentation tools which provide treatment planning functionality that supports conventional radiation and proton beam therapies; non-invasive patient immobilization and positioning systems and respiratory motion management.
