Products and Services

• Accelerator-Based Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (AB-BNCT) Systems

  Heron Neutron Medical Corp. specializes in advanced AB-BNCT systems that utilize neutron beams to target and treat cancer cells effectively. The technology leverages the unique properties of boron-10 isotopes, which, when exposed to thermal neutrons, produce high-energy alpha particles that selectively destroy tumor cells while sparing surrounding healthy tissues.

• Boron-Containing Therapeutic Agents

  The company integrates boron-containing agents into its treatment protocols, creating synergistic effects with its AB-BNCT systems. These agents enhance the uptake of boron in tumor cells, thereby improving the efficacy of neutron capture therapy and facilitating better treatment outcomes.

• Beam Shaping Technologies

  Heron Neutron Medical Corp. employs state-of-the-art beam shaping technologies to focus neutron beams precisely on tumors, minimizing the exposure of healthy tissues to radiation. This innovation aids in achieving optimal dose distribution and maximizes therapeutic impact.

• Treatment Control and Planning Systems

  To ensure accuracy and efficacy, the company offers advanced treatment control and planning systems. These systems aid clinicians in strategizing and personalizing treatment plans based on the specific characteristics of each patient’s cancer, thus enhancing the overall treatment experience.

• Clinical Collaboration and Support Services

  Heron Neutron Medical Corp. emphasizes collaboration with healthcare providers and research institutions. The company offers training, ongoing support, and consultation services to ensure the successful implementation and utilization of their AB-BNCT systems and related therapies.
