Patient-Inspired Proton Therapy System Innovation

ProNova Solutions is the manufacturing arm of Provision Healthcare, a leader in the cancer care industry. We are pioneering oncology solutions with the ProNova SC360 Proton Therapy System. This design is the first and only superconducting compact proton therapy system. It is also the only compact system on the market that offers a full 360˚ treatment angle.

Innovation that CARES

Exceeding Expectations with Improved Patient Treatments and Workflow

Our patient-inspired engineering and design is driving new standards of excellence, improving the patient experience and the clinical treatment workflow. An uncompromising system design stands out from other compact proton therapy systems, offering all of the functionality of a full-size system plus a highly expandable treatment platform. The scalable design can be easily expanded by adding treatment rooms with little impact. The open isocenter cantilever nozzle is a distinguishing feature that improves workflow and accommodates new technology advancements. The SC360 is a smaller, lower-cost, and more energy-efficient proton therapy system providing today’s most important clinical capabilities.

Innovation Without Compromise

ProNova’s system design leverages superconducting magnet technology in the novel compact gantry, dramatically reducing the system size, weight, and power consumption, increasing operational efficiency. Featuring an open treatment room with advanced imaging capabilities, the SC360 delivers essential clinical capabilities and remains impressively scalable.

Performance Matters

Our history of innovation establishes us as a leader in medical technology advancements. Research and development along with clinical application are integral components of our tested and proven success. The uncompromising design of the ProNova SC360 began with a focus on accuracy, efficiency, and safety. Our patented superconducting magnet technology creates a larger and more useful rectangular treatment room compared to any other system, large or small. At the same time, this technology leverages a smaller footprint, lower energy costs and overall construction costs, and optimizes operational performance.

Leading Technology: PRONOVA SC360 PROTON THERAPY SYSTEM The SC360 is the only superconducting compact proton therapy system that maintains a full 360˚ treatment angle and fully accessible treatment isocenter, offering uncompromised performance and a distinctive open treatment room.

ADVANCED IMAGING Integrated-dual energy CBCT offers increased precision and advanced IGRT with a larger field-of-view and the capability to treat multiple fields with one image. *Continuous tumor-motion tracking, and inter- and intra-beam imaging are possible with fluoroscopy mode, currently under development.

FAST-SCANNING IMPT Fast-scanning IMPT beam technology allows for extremely fast layer painting and repainting, utilizing a high frequency scanning magnet up to 10 times faster than the competition. This is useful for faster treatments and less susceptibility to motion.

INDEPENDENT-ENERGY SELECTION SYSTEM Another innovative and unique ProNova feature is independent energy selection for each treatment room. This provides instantaneous room-switching and greatly reduces patient treatment times, improving clinical capabilities. *Future applications include intra-fraction room switching to improve workflow and throughput.

*HYPOFRACTIONATION The high-current, continuous beam cyclotron can deliver high dose rates and raster-scan beam. This can be used to deliver the same dose in fewer treatments than pulse-beam technology.

_{*This feature is planned for future development and is not yet commercially available. Future development of features may not be available in all markets and are not guaranteed.}
Adaptive Design: SCALABLE ProNova’s system design is impressively scalable, with a unique open-room treatment area, independent energy selection, and reduced system footprint, easily accommodating the future addition of treatment rooms to meet business demands.

IMAGING & WORKFLOW OPTIMIZATION Automated image registration enhances the patient experience and optimizes workflow, allowing for imaging at any bed or gantry position, rapid re-planning, and reducing patient exposure.

OPEN ROOM An open treatment room improves access to the patient. Imaging independent of the gantry with large field-of-view CBCT at isocenter provides endless flexibility in workflow and the room is future-proofed to easily accommodate technological advancement.
Cost Efficient: SIZE & WEIGHT Reduce size up to 52% and weight up to 83% by utilizing a lighter innovative gantry design and superconducting magnet technology.

ENERGY CONSUMPTION Reduce power consumption up to 81% with superconducting magnet technology, optimizing operational expenses.

LOGISTICS Smaller and lighter components allows for standard shipping with no need for oversized trucks, simplifying logistics and lowering costs.

CONSTRUCTION In-house project development expertise decreases construction costs by up to 50% and reduces project complexities.

INSTALLATION Our experienced team brings a streamlined installation process, expediting time-to-market. Factory-built and tested components improves quality, and reduces installation and commissioning timelines.
