From 30 September to 3 October 2026, during the 19th Congress of the Polish Society of Medical Physics (PTFM) in Gdańsk, AQURE was presented to the general public for the first time – a mobile intraoperative accelerator, the result of collaboration between the National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ) and the Wielkopolska Oncology Centre in Poznań (WCO).

In order to precisely deliver the radiation dose using an intraoperative accelerator, a properly designed applicator is necessary. The National Centre for Nuclear Research has developed a modern applicator dedicated to the AQURE accelerator. This innovative component is lightweight, transparent and enables safe irradiation of tissues after tumour removal.

The AQURE accelerator is a modern device designed for intraoperative cancer therapy. The accelerator has just begun the medical certification process conducted by the Polish Centre for Testing and Certification. Passing this process is necessary for the device to be approved for use in oncology hospitals and formally recognised as a medical device compliant with European standards.
