Leader in Ion Therapy Technology
As an international leader in ion therapy, MedAustron supports top cancer centers around the globe, providing high-quality facilities for advanced ion therapy equipment, as well as training and operational support for staff. MedAustron is unique in Austria and among only six comparable centers worldwide.
International Collaborations
MedAustron operates as an independent center but is interconnected with clinics, universities, and research institutes in Austria and around the world. Organized as a limited liability company, MedAustron is indirectly owned by the State of Lower Austria.
Patient Experience
The MedAustron center features a dedicated waiting area for children and adolescents, equipped with a variety of games and a PlayStation console to ensure the entertainment of young patients and their families. The three irradiation rooms are designed to provide a comfortable experience, adapting to the individual preferences of patients by adjusting lighting colors and ambient music.
Advanced Technology for Treatment
In the irradiation rooms, a robotic-controlled bed meets multiple requirements: positioning patients accurately for irradiation with millimeter precision while continuously monitoring this position. A specially developed “imaging ring” provides X-ray and CT images to verify patient positioning.
Behind the irradiation rooms is a unique medical device in Austria: a particle accelerator that delivers proton or carbon ion beams. Developed in collaboration with the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), it is a complex machine designed by physicists and technicians to meet high clinical demands. Comparable technical installations exist in only five other treatment centers worldwide. The particle accelerator, along with all connected systems, undergoes strict quality assurance daily and is continually being developed.
