Case Study: Mevion Medical Systems achieves better proton therapy beam quality with Dassault Systèmes Opera

Mevion improves proton beam quality with Dassault Systèmes to target tumors more precisely

Mevion Medical Systems, a provider of proton therapy cancer treatment systems, faced the challenge of needing to enhance beam quality and system stability while reducing complexity, increasing reliability, and lowering costs. To address this, they turned to Dassault Systèmes for a solution.

Dassault Systèmes implemented its Opera finite element analysis software, a low-frequency electromagnetic solver, to simulate and optimize the advanced EM fields within Mevion's system. This solution provided a critical simulation tool that enhanced beam quality and accuracy, ensuring protons could be charged to reach the exact depth of a tumor. This improved precision helps to minimize radiation exposure to healthy tissue surrounding the tumor.
