Announcement
HITRIplus and Hadrontherapy Workshop
Heavy Ion Therapy Research Integration opening up to European researchers from academia and industry
HITRIplus
Heavy Ion Therapy Research Integration plus (HITRIplus) aims at bringing together, integrating on European scale, and opening up to European researchers from academia and industry, the key research infrastructures for bio-physics and medical research on cancer treatment with heavy ion beams, jointly developing at the same time the next generation of its sophisticated instruments. Two main reasons are limiting the diffusion of heavy ion therapy and the access of a larger number of patients to this advanced treatment technique. The first is the limited availability of clinical and pre-clinical data. The second is the significant cost of the treatment, presently about a factor of four higher than X-ray RT in Germany and Italy, related to the significant cost and size of the particle accelerator required to accelerate the ions to the treatment energy.
HITRIplus Project Meeting and Hadrontherapy Workshop - From Innovation to Implementation
Vinaver Medical participated 2025 HITRIplus Project Meeting and Workshop, hosted by SEEIIST Association and Ministry of Education, Science and Innovation of Montenegro, at the Science and Technology Park of Montenegro in Podgorica. It was a great opportunity to discuss the potential of our solution to improve hadron therapy by enabling more precise calculation of a treatment plan!
