The ever-increasing number of medical cyclotron models installed at hospitals worldwide has provided a strong impetus to the generation of new and advanced radionuclides for medical uses. In particular, the main benefit of using it to treat cancer is the ability to create on-demand, when necessary (on-demand) with various medical radionuclides of interest thereby encouraging the innovative personalized medicine approach. The ability to combine various approaches in cancer treatments provides a unique advantage of these systems for treatment in oncology, chemotherapy, and even other areas of medicine. Therefore Medical cyclotron is being used today for the treatment of cancers, bone fractures, heart diseases, neurological diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, bone injuries, brain tumor, and many other diseases.

These cyclotrons are generally manufactured in two versions i.e. single and multiple channel model. Since single-channel medical cyclotron contains one input electrode whereas multiple channel cyclotron is a combination of two input channels with each input having a rotor that is connected to a source of non-energetic neutrons.

These cyclotron system provides high energy density and long cycle time to facilitate various experimental procedures. Cyclotron generators are generally adapted for providing electrical energy via a magnetic field. The advantage of healthcare Cyclotrons over other forms of the generator is that cyclotron is capable of operating at high voltage and is suitable for use in various applications. Cyclotron generators can be easily maintained and provide a safe environment around by applying standard safety protocols and measures.

The second advantage of this system is that it is a user-friendly device with minimal setup time and easy installation. It provides stable and consistent beam performance with excellent output power and excellent system integration and control. A variety of cyclotron sources including Electron Pulse-Orient Torque (EPOT), Pulse-Create Energy (PCOE), and Neutron Beam Cleaner (NEB) are used to generate the required electric current. The generator gives excellent output performance in various research and quality applications where high input voltage and high output power are required.
