  1. Indigenous Development of Medical Linear Accelerators Amol Bhagwat, Medical Electronics Division, SAMEER, Hill Side, IIT Campus, Powai, Mumbai 400 076.

  2. Vision Statement • To design & develop, quality medical linac machines and facilitate continual support to user. • To develop new accessories giving value addition to the linac machine in tune with latest technology and harness the developed technology for spin off products.

  3. Goal and Objective • To develop and deploy these workhorse machines in various parts of the country and abroad and provide a quality economical solution to the needy cancer patients

  4. Today’s Situation • The need in India alone as on date is of 1000 machines and total number of linacs is only 52 (Source W.H.O. report)

  5. How Did SAMEER Get Here? • The first indigenous linear accelerator for research in Physics was made in India, in the ’60s in TIFR, Mumbai and SAMEER, Mumbai was formed from the same group.

  6. The first travelling wave Linac was developed by Prof. Sitaram in TIFR in 1960’s.

  7. How Did SAMEER Get Here?...contd • The said group developed the first indigenous medical linac , JEEVAN JYOTI, in 1990, at PGI Chandigarh. The effort was jointly taken up by DoE (now DIT), SAMEER, CSIO and PGIMER, Chandigarh demonstrating a rare synergy between different organizations.

  8. Transfer of Technology • PSU ToT was attempted for 4 MV Medical Linacs in the 1990s. • Phase-I of Jai-Vigyan is for ToT to industry partner started in 2K1. • BOL option being attempted.

  10. 4MV linac at GMCH, ChandigarhJeevan Jyoti-2

  11. Transfer of Technology… contd • PSU option did not work out. Diversity of technology, long gestation period made PSUs back out. • Industry partner working on ToT and the exercise is still ON. No capital investment has been made.

  12. 6MV Linac under Jai-Vigyan project SIDDHARTH-1

  13. Transfer of Technology…contd • BOL option will be attempted for following advantages… • Infrastructure Facility will be built specially for Linac machines, designers will invite industries to build machines and spare capacity will be leased on commercial terms. • Augmented trained manpower is generated for potential manufacturers to hire. • More machines can be build due to larger capacity.

  14. Transfer of Technology… contd. • Lock-in period of six years or so for the initial capital investment should be accepted. • Demand for machines should be matched with preparation of users conforming with Regulatory Board requirements.

  15. BOL option is the best choice • In the initial period minimum three machine will roll out every year. More machines per year to come with leasing to industry. • Plan and start civil works on approval and complete it in two years. • Multilateral product development using related technologies involved will be explored.

  16. Overall scenario • 6 MV Medical Linac machines will be available for users to serve millions of cancer patients. Indigenous solution is cheaper due to thorough understanding of the technology and minimal dependence on imported components. • Patients will have to travel short distance for affordable treatment.

  17. Overall scenario…. Contd. • Development work at present campus will provide value addition to the products after thorough field tests and retrofitting. • Part of the technology will provide work for skilled youth.

  18. Thank You.
