With proton radiation, scientists and doctors can go deep into the body's tissues without opening up the chest cavity. The idea is to make channels in the heart and relieve angina in the same way the more invasive therapy does. The procedure is being tested on animal hearts before moving forward with clinical trials. The future of proton radiation therapy at the MPRI looks bright, according to Klein. The proton beam's precision and its capability to reach very small structures inside the body make it a powerful tool for medical research and therapy.
Protons are always better.
