title: [An original contention system for hadron therapy].
abstract: In hadron therapy centers that have only fixed horizontal beams (i.e. most carbon ions centers and protons centers of first generation), the angulations of the beam remain technically limited, especially for the treatment of children under general anaesthesia with posterior-oblique (40 degrees or so) beams in supine position. We have been developing recently an original positioning system allowing for treatment with posterior-oblique beams, either from right or left directions, by keeping the child in the adequate position.
