All facilities, nationally and internationally, seek to create a unique patient experience while maintaining an ideally functional and efficient operation. 1. As the number of new facilities grows, the percentage of patients treated in stand-alone and hospital-based facilities will continue to increase and dominate the major market share. PROGRAM ELEMENTS The layout of a particle therapy facility depends on whether such a facility is freestanding or integrated into a larger medical facility. 1.
G. Biological imaging of heavy charged-particle tracks. 2,3 Both radiations produce approximately 100,000 ionizations in the nucleus and 1,500 ionizations in DNA, resulting from approximately 1,000 diffuse low-LET tracts and two tracts of densely ionizing α particles. The initial yield of DSBs shows little variation with ionization density, but the number of residual breaks at 8 hours after cellular repair substantially differs. Similarly, the number of initial chromosome breaks as revealed by premature chromosome condensation (PCC) is similar following low- and high-LET 34 35 radiation, but markedly differs following 8 hours of cellular repair of the DNA damage.
