Syncrotron magnets.
For handrotherapy "Project CNAO"
CONSTRUCTION OF SYNCHROTRON MAGNETS FOR HADRONTHERAPY “PROJECT CNAO"
Furthermore, Ormet has built on the project ASG (INFN) synchrotron magnets used in hadron therapy for CNAO (Centro Nazionale Adroerapia Oncologica - National Centre for Oncological Hadrontherapy first centre in Europe assigned to the city of Pavia).
Hadrontherapy involves the irradiation with heavy particles "hadrons" (protons or carbon ions) of the tumor cells with less effect on healthy tissues compared to other techniques based on the use of X-rays, such as radiation therapy.
