radioterapianlæg
Radioterapianlæg refers to the equipment used in radiation therapy, a medical treatment that employs ionizing radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. These facilities are designed to deliver radiation precisely to the target area while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues.
The core component of a radioterapianlæg is typically a linear accelerator, often called a "linac." This machine
Modern radioterapianlæg incorporate sophisticated imaging technologies. Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) uses on-board imaging systems, such as
Other essential components include treatment planning systems, which use detailed patient scans (like CT or MRI)
