Abstract
The Scanditronix MC-60 PF cyclotron at Clatterbridge was commissioned in 1984 for fast neutrontherapy trials. It also produced a 60.0 MeV clinical beam suitable for treating ocular tumours with a maximum penetration of 31 mm (water) and a 0.9 mm fall-off. An additional treatment room was built with an ocular beamline constructed in-house. The first group of eye patients was treated in June 1989, making this the first hospital-based proton facility. More than 1700 eye patients have been treated by the only UK proton service.
