Radiation Therapy Imaging
Typical Use
Deliver external beam radiation therapy for cancer treatment.
Description
A high energy photon or electron beam generator that delivers conformal external beam radiation to tumors using advanced techniques such as intensity modulated radiation therapy IMRT and image guided radiation therapy IGRT, enabling precise dose delivery while sparing normal tissues. LINAC operation involves treatment planning, immobilization devices, daily imaging verification, and quality assurance to ensure accurate dose delivery and patient safety. Multidisciplinary coordination, management of acute and late radiation effects, and integration with systemic therapies are part of comprehensive oncologic care supported by LINAC based treatments.
