Abstract
The advantage of proton radiography for early cancer detection in soft human tissue has been demonstrated. 1-4 In order for this technique to become a practical medical tool for early detection of cancer, however, a proton source suitable for use in hospitals and clinics is required. An initial concept of such an accelerator has been discussed.5 It would meet the requirements considerably better than any existing accelerator and be simple, reliable, and economical.Keywords
