Medical superconducting cyclotron mainly consists of ion source, magnet system, radio frequency system, extraction system, beam diagnostic system and auxiliary systems. The cyclotron employs superconducting technology, with a diameter of only 3 meters and weighing no more than 75 tons. It can produce 240 MeV beam energy with over hundreds of nano-ampere beam intensity, ensuring highly efficient dose delivery. The cyclotron, based on the physical properties of the “Bragg peak” of the proton, enables static spot scanning, achieving precise radiotherapy.
