A linear electron accelerator is a medical device used in radiation therapy to deliver high-energy radiation to cancerous tumors. It works by accelerating electrons to very high speeds using electric and magnetic fields, and then directing those electrons to the area of the body where the tumor is located.
The process of using a linear accelerator in radiation therapy generally involves the following steps:
The use of a linear electron accelerator in radiation therapy allows precise radiation doses to be delivered to cancerous tumors while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues, helping to improve treatment outcomes and reduce side effects.
