Since facilities for particle therapy are quite complicated and expensive, most of working hadrontherapy centers are still based on physical research institutes. Also it helps to coordinate efforts of medical and physical scientists.
In Russia only the accelerator in Troitsk fits all basic requirements of proton therapy for beam parameters (the energy range, duration and frequency of pulses).

Perspectives of the Radiological CentrePerspectives of the Radiological Centre
The INR Radiological centre may become an universal radiological centre, where most modern methods of radiology and radiobiology will be developed and applied. The linac properties (the possibility to vary the energy and the intensity of beams in a wide range) provide as the proton therapy, as also other main methods of radiology: brachytherapy, diagnostics and therapy with radiopharmaceuticals and the neutron - capture therapy.
As a part of the Medical Complex in Troitsk it will be one of the biggest radiological centers in Russia. Based on possibilities of physical research Institute and the Hospital, it will be a place there medical and physical scientists can work together.
The possibility of the simultaneous operation of isotope production facility, installations of experimental hall and proton treatment increases considerably the economical effectiveness of linac operation.
