Description
The Seoul National University Hospital (SNUH) Heavy Ion Therapy Gijang Center is a national project aiming to begin treatment at the end of 2027. This project, which began in 2010 at the Korea Institute of Radiological and Medical Sciences (KIRAMS), was transferred to SNUH in May 2019. A contract with Toshiba was signed in September 2020, and it had been decided to install the synchrotron in the completed building previously planned for a cyclotron. A new gantry treatment room also has been built connecting to the existing building. Construction of the gantry room expansion has been completed in April 2025, and equipment installation has begun in May 2025. Equipment installation is scheduled until May 2026, with beam tuning beginning in February or March 2026 and expected to be completed by April 2027. Following the completion of the Acceptance Test Procedure (ATP) in May 2027 and several months of commissioning, simultaneous treatment of the horizontal port and gantry port is planned to be started at the end of 2027. This project will involve both carbon and helium ions, and the installation of a research beamline in the remaining bunker is under consideration. This presentation will briefly outline the current status of SNUH Heavy Ion Therapy Gijang Center.
