Hitachi (Proton Therapy)

Hitachi's proton-therapy division — distinct from the broader Hitachi imaging business that became Fujifilm Healthcare in 2021. The proton-therapy business stayed within Hitachi Ltd. and continues under Hitachi High-Tech / Hitachi Industrial Equipment branding. Top-tier proton-therapy vendor globally alongside IBA and Varian / Mevion in the multi-room and single-room categories respectively. Particularly strong installed base in U.S. academic proton centers (MD Anderson, MGH, Mayo, others) where Hitachi's synchrotron-based platform is the canonical multi-room build.
