Design study for integrating EPICS-based control systems with medical treatment apparatus
Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: This contribution proposes a design study focused on the future integration between an EPICS-based accelerator control system and a medical treatment environment within the ANTHEM project. As the accelerator subsystems (source, RFQ, MEBT, etc.) evolve toward operational readiness, a conceptual architecture is needed to bridge high-level beamline control with treatment room systems. The goal is to anticipate integration challenges by identifying critical requirements, data flows, and safety constraints typical of medical environments. This study explores design approaches to minimize bottlenecks at the final integration phase, particularly where patient positioning, safety interlocks, and real-time synchronization with beam delivery intersect. The study will not implement a prototype, but rather provide a high-level blueprint and system requirements, laying the groundwork for future harmonization between scientific instrumentation and clinical operation contexts.
