graham satchell, bbc news, manchester. instead of using high energy x—rays it is using protons. the protons are generated in the cyclotron, about the size of a small car that weighs 90 tonnes. it accelerates the protons to a high speed so they are at the right energy and it comes into one of the treatment rooms. 0ut of the nozzle comes the protons and the patient, mason who we saw in the film, would lie under the nozzle and to receive the protons. it enables you to target specific areas where you to target specific areas where you are trying to hit those tumours. from what i was reading, sometimes the sessions can last quite a bit of time. a lot of that is positioning the patient so you can hit the right spot? that is right. mason will be in the room for about 30 minutes, but that involves getting onto the treatment couch, getting in the right position. we take some images to make sure he's in the right position and deliver the treatment. the treatment delivery time is minutes but it is everything else to make sure we deli
