(LINAC) A type of particle accelerator in which charged particles are accelerated in a straight line, either by a steady electrical field or by means of radio frequency electric fields. Reference Link (http://www.slac.stanford.edu/)
a device for imparting a high energy to atomic or subatomic particles traveling in a straight line.
Modern radiation equipment capable of delivering x-rays at very high energies of up to 25M electron volts.
A particle accelerator designed to move charged particles at high velocities along a straight path to a target.(Basic Science/Radiography/highenergyrad/linearaccel_popup.htm)
An apparatus used to accelerate electrons to high velocities by means of a high frequency electrical wave traveling along a tube in the linear direction of the electron beam.
A device for accelerating ions along a straight-line path for use in nuclear reactions
An accelerator in which the charged particles travel in a straight path.
A type of particle accelerator in which charged particles are accelerated in a straight line, either by a steady electrical field or by means of radiofrequency electric fields. In the latter variety, the passage of the particle is synchronized with the phase of the accelerating field. The SLAC Linear Accelerator (linac) is a two-mile long accelerator, consisting of a cylindrical, disc-loaded, copper waveguide placed on concrete girders in a tunnel about 25 feet underground.
ions are accelerated along a linear path by voltage differences on electrodes along the path
a high-energy x-ray machine used to safely treat cancer at any site within the body
a machine used to deliver radiation beams to a tumor site
a machine that creates a high-energy radiation beam, using electricity to form a stream of high energy x-rays and/or electrons.
A linear accelerator is a machine that creates and uses high-energy X-rays to deliver external radiation to a cancer tumor.
A type of radiation treatment machine. The radiation delivered from this type of machine is created when rapidly moving electrons are forced to slow down causing them to give off energy in the form of radiation. With this type of machine, radiation is only present in the treatment area when the machine is on.
a device for performing radiosurgery using a high-powered x-ray tube as the source of irradiation; the patient's head is placed in a frame screwed to the skull using local anesthetic, and radiation is given in a single treatment using a rotating x-ray tube that is moved along several arcs around the patient's head. The x-rays are focused on a single point (the tumor).
Special x-ray machine that delivers a specific beam to the breast during radiation treatments; called radiation therapy; the physician specialist is called a radiation oncologist.
A complex machine used to deliver radiation therapy for the treatment of cancer.
Equipment that precisely delivers a concentrated dose of radiation to a predetermined target using x-rays.
The most common type of machine used to deliver external radiation therapy. Sometimes called a “linac.
a device used to create high-energy x-rays for radiosurgery treatment.
A megavoltage treatment machine capable of delivering high energy x-ray, and in some instances an electron beam.
A machine used to deliver radiotherapy treatment to cancer patients
A machine that creates high-energy radiation to treat cancers, using electricity to form a stream of fast-moving subatomic particles. Also called mega-voltage linear accelerator or a linac.
A machine used to treat cancer. It creates and uses high-energy X-rays.
a machine used in physics experiments that makes particles go faster in a straight line
A type of high energy x-ray machine that generates radiation fields for external beam radiation therapy . A linear accelerator is typically mounted with a collimator and/or a multileaf collimator on a gantry that revolves vertically around a treatment couch.
A machine that makes electrons move faster, producing X rays or electrons to be used in radiation therapy.
A high energy x-ray machine generating radiation fields for external beam radiation therapy. These machines are typically mounted with a collimator (or multileaf collimator) in a gantry that rotates vertically around the patient being treated.
a machine which produces high energy x-rays and electron beams to treat cancer.
Particle accelerator laid out in a straight line.
A device used for accelerating charged particles along a straight line path.
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 linac and MeV linear accelerator (mega-voltage linear accelerator).
A machine used in radiotherapy to treat cancer. A linear accelerator generates gamma rays and electron beams which are focused on the cancerous tissue.
A machine used in radiation therapy that is able to create man-made ionizing radiation in the form of x-rays to penetrate through tissue into a tumor.
A straight ion accelerator used for external radiation therapy or radioisotope production.
A type of radiotherapy treatment machine.
A device that uses a number of chambers, each of which adds energy to electrons, accelerating them to high energies in the megavoltage range. The linac directs the high-energy electrons to a target, with which they collide to produce high-energy photons.
A device imparting high velocity and energy to atomic and subatomic particles; an important device for radiation therapy.
a type of particle accelerator in which a changing electrical field is used to accelerate a beam of charged particles along a linear path.
A particle accelerator in which subatomic particles are accelerated to high speeds in a straight line.
