HIMAC (Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba)

HIMAC (Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba) is a specialized facility in Japan that uses advanced technology to treat cancer. It accelerates heavy ions, like carbon ions, to high energies and precisely targets tumors, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. This precise form of radiation therapy is especially effective for hard-to-treat cancers and offers fewer side effects compared to traditional methods. HIMAC combines cutting-edge physics and medical science to improve patient outcomes, making it a leading center for heavy-ion cancer treatment worldwide.
