STUDY OF THE INSTALLATION OF A SMALL ANIMAL EXPERIMENT IN A MC-50 CYCLOTRON LEPT BEAM LINE *

Proton therapy has a feature of minimal effect on tumor surrounding healthy tissue and huge damage on tumor volumes specifically. Due to these characteristics of proton therapy the number of patients with receiving proton therapy is increasing every year. Proton therapy is useful for tumor treatment but still not know mechanism of proton beam that how to kill the tumor cells. In Korea, a lot of current research progressed at the cellular level by using a proton accelerator, the animal experiments was not held virtually because of the absence of the device. In this study, we installed animal experiment device for proton beam.
