At IBA (Ion Beam Applications), we are world leaders in proton therapy—an advanced form of radiation therapy that enables precise, targeted treatment of cancer while sparing healthy tissue. Each proton therapy center we build is a combination of cutting-edge technology, complex infrastructure, and close collaboration with hospital teams.
