Serious damage to the country's most advanced beam cannon: 'It's an unfortunate situation' | BT Society - www.bt.dk It cost 280 million kroner to establish Denmark's first particle cannon. But now it is seriously damaged, the Danish Center for Particle Therapy informs in a press release. This happened over the weekend in connection with the supplier's maintenance work. “It is a very unfortunate situation that has arisen. We work at high pressure to ensure patients' treatment and to inform patients in the best possible way, «says chief physician and professor Morten Høyer at the Danish Center for Particle Therapy. The machine almost looks like a spaceship, but is a treatment room at the Danish Center for Particle Therapy at Aarhus University Hospital. It uses particle radiation rather than regular X-ray radiation to attack the tumor. This means that it hits the cancerous nodule very well demarcated and protects the surrounding tissue. It was when the machine had to be disassembled and reassembled that a serious injury occurred. The extent of the damage and the spare parts to be procured are currently being investigated. It is therefore expected that the plant will stand still for the next two weeks, if not longer. And it's going to affect 35 patients who are now instead being referred for regular radiation therapy and may eventually have to be referred for particle therapy abroad. politics Check it here norway abroad Save 40% Cursed everywhere: acknowledge Warns citizens: Said sorry: B.T. thinks Weekendavisen ukraine Atomvåben Berlingske Media A / S Pilestræde 34 DK-1147 København KTlf. +45 33 75 75 33 CVR.no .: 29 20 73 13
