There are only two examples in France, including the Eugène-Marquis Cancer Center in Rennes: a particle accelerator with MRI called Linac Unity. This revolutionary tool provides oncologists and radiotherapists with a highly effective weapon for cancer treatment.

In the early 2000s it was still science fiction for oncologists and radiotherapists: with a high-definition imaging system, capable of having a particle accelerator capable of irradiating cancer cells. During the irradiation session, sufficient to allow visualization of the tumor position in real time. A technical challenge that seemed impossible. “The main problem is that the magnetic field of MRI tends to deflect the electrons from the accelerator,” Summarizes medical physicist Raphael Hermout of the Eugène-Marquis Center in Rennes. MRI and Accelerator…
