Linear accelerator in which large alternating voltages are used to accelerate charged particles in a straight line; the concept dates back to the 1920s.
Linac, or linear accelerator, delivers x-ray radiation treatment by moving in an arc around the patient's head while delivering narrow beams of collimated radiation. The ability to reach some tumors may be difficult due to the restrictions of the arc, making it more challenging to treat some tumors.
Linear accelerator. An accelerator that sends particles in a straight line.
ions are accelerated along a linear path by voltage differences on electrodes along the path
LINAC is short for linear accelerators. LINACs are radiosurgical machines that produce radiation electronically. These radiation beams are called x-rays. LINACs are also commonly used for conventional radiation treatment of tumors elsewhere in the body.
A machine that creates high-energy radiation to treat cancer, using electricity to form a stream of fast-moving subatomic particles. Also called mega-voltage (MeV) linear accelerator or a linear accelerator.
Acronym for linear accelerator, a non-incision surgical device that uses high-energy X-rays to cause precisely aimed damage to targeted. Often used for tumors but sometimes for TN.
Hydrogen ions are accelerated using radio frequency cavities from the exit of the Cockroft Walton generators up to 200 MeV for injection into the Booster ring where the negative ions are stripped of both electrons to become bare protons.
An abbreviation for linear accelerator .
Another name for a linear accelerator.
A machine that uses electricity to form a stream of fast-moving subatomic particles. This creates high-energy radiation that may be used to treat cancer. Also called linear accelerator and MeV linear accelerator (mega-voltage linear accelerator).
