CT Scanner
Upright Fan Beam CT Scanner with a ±15° tilting capability, allowing alignment with the backrest angle
Back Rest
Ultra-thin, lightweight tilting back rest made from carbon fibre
Scanner Arm
Features ±15° tilt capability and a travel range that enables imaging below the pelvis for comprehensive coverage.
Six Degrees of Freedom Platform
With ±1mm isocenter accuracy, our base offers six degrees of freedom, including 360° rotation, X, Y, Z translation, pitch, and roll.
Heel Stop
In the perched position, the heel rest works together with the shin rest to securely support the patient's feet.
Shin Rest
The secret behind our perched position, the shin rest takes the patients weight from the hips down.
Seat Pan
With adjustable height and angle, the seat pan allows for both a seated and perched patient positioning
Meet Marie®
Meet Marie
Named after Marie Curie, a pioneer of radiotherapy, our Particle Therapy solution combines our sophisticated, upright patient positioning system and fan beam CT.
The Marie solution can be placed in front of any fixed particle beam, unlocking modalities such as proton therapy, carbon ion therapy and BNCT. We believe this simple shift to upright positioning will change the particle therapy landscape for good.
Please note: Marie is not yet clinically available.
Features and Benefits
What makes Marie so special
Gantry-Less Particle Therapy
We remove the need for large and expensive gantries by keeping the radiation beam fixed and instead slowly rotating the patient. This change will reduce the size and cost, bringing this previously considered inaccessible treatment to more patients.
Online Adaptive
With our upright fan beam CT Scanner placed at the isocenter it will unlock the option for daily imaging and online adaptive in particle therapy. This approach helps deliver treatments that adapt as our bodies change throughout treatment.
Future Arc Therapy
Arc Therapy offers dosing for a multiplicity of angles with continuous rotation, aiming to enhance treatment conformity. Current gantry-based methods pose precision challenges due to their size and weight; however, by simply rotating the lighter object, we will open the door for particle arc therapy in the future.
Patient & Clinician Experience
Positioning a patient eye to eye with the team treating them allows both patient and therapist to read each others body language to interpret subtle distress or pain cues. It also allows a connection to be made which is the foundation for a trusting relationship in a time when patients feel vulnerable.

Gantry-less Particle Therapy
if you need to change a lightbulb, you don’t hold the lightbulb and rotate the house. It always makes sense to rotate the lighter object.
- Stephen Towe, CEO of Leo Cancer Care
We remove the need for large and expensive gantries by keeping the radiation beam fixed and instead slowly rotating the patient. This change will aim to bring these previously considered inaccessible treatment to more patients.
Today, centers looking to introduce particle therapy treatments, are recognizing the benefits of this concept, which has the potential to make particle therapy more effective, more accessible and much more patient friendly.
