The Future of Proton and Carbon Ion Therapy Room Construction
Particle therapy is today’s most progressive form of cancer treatment. With lengthy construction times, however, therapy centers built with poured concrete present logistical and budgetary nightmares. Completing a new particle therapy facility with concrete can take years.
VeriShield™ radiation shielding is the answer you've been waiting for. Based on a groundbreaking system of pre-engineered ultra-high-density shielding modules, VeriShield dramatically cuts facility construction times whether installed manually by factory-certified technicians or in conjunction with our optional automated robots. Additionally, VeriShield is 100% guaranteed to provide superior particle attenuation for all energies—in approximately half the space as concrete!
Save Space Throughout Your Treatment Area
VeriShield construction not only reduces the overall footprint of the facility, but at the same time increases the amount of usable space within the facility.
