1983

April 1983, the Lions saw an increased need to help patients battle cancer within the IU Department of Radiation Oncology. The Indiana Lions Cancer Control Fund, Inc. provided the Medical Microton 22. The Microtron was the first of its kind, installed in the United States at a total cost of nearly one million dollars. It produced a wide range of electron and photon energies that were used in a broad spectrum of patient treatments.
