the latest innovation for the fight against cancer
LINEAR ACCELERATOR FOR RADIOTHERAPY
- precision and confort
- an examble of lin-acc for radiotherapy Varian truebeam is an innovative, non-invasive technology for cancer patients.
LINEAR ACCELERATOR
HOW DOES IT WORK?
- the machine starts turning around the patient in order to scan the diseased part of his body
- positioning is possible thanks to lasers which show the correct position of the patient
1. PATIENT'S POSITIONING
- The multileaf collimator is a device made of individual tungsten leaves which are able to move in the path of a X-ray beam in order to reproduce the 3D shape of the cancer
2. MULTILEAF COLLIMATOR (MLC)
- prostate cancer
- the TC cone beam starts hitting perfectly the cancer without comproming other tissues or organs thanks to the multileaf collimator.
