February 20, 2007 – Still River Systems, based in Littleton, MA, recently announced plans to sell pared-down proton sources with the ability to fit in a treatment room, reducing the size, cost and complexity of an accelerator.
Though Still Rivers Systems has not yet received US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance, the company has a contract with Washington University, St. Louis, MO, to create a one-room proton-therapy facility.
