Photon Laser Therapy
In the field of medical treatment proton therapy or proton radiotherapy is a type of particle therapy that uses a beam of protons to irradiate diseased tissue most often to treat cancer.
Photon laser therapy. Photons are used in treatments that are given by a machine called a linear accelerator. Radiation therapy using x rays has long been used to treat cancers and noncancerous benign tumors. Exposing light to the skin surface activates the skin s photoreceptors and let the skin cells absorb its energy. It accelerates cell biochemical circulation and stimulates the production of collagen.
The process results in high energy beams that combine the best of traditional x rays and radiation therapy with the cancer fighting potential of light. Proton therapy is a type of radiation therapy a treatment that uses high energy beams to treat tumors. Proton therapy is a newer type of radiation therapy that uses energy from positively charged particles called protons. Photon beam radiation therapy is another name for what is usually known as external beam radiation therapy.
The benefits of pencil beam proton therapy include. Ability to deliver higher therapeutic doses of radiation to tumors more accurate targeting of tumors lower radiation exposure to normal tissue reducing short and long term side effects including development of new cancers.
