FRIDAY, Oct. 11, 2024 (HealthDay News) -- For patients with glioblastoma imaged daily with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-linear accelerator (linac) throughout the chemoradiation therapy course ...

To investigate this idea, Mellon and colleagues studied 36 patients with glioblastoma undergoing chemoradiotherapy on a 0.35 T MRI-linac. During 30 radiotherapy fractions, delivered over six weeks, ...

The UK Government is due to introduce linear accelerator (LINAC) machines at 28 hospitals to improve cancer treatment.

– Quality assurance of the medical linear accelerator using PTW equipment, including beam data collection; output check; profile check; isocenter check; and patient plan verification. – Independent ...

India will have its first manufacturing facility for the Medical Linear Accelerator (LINAC) here under the Jai Vigyan Mission of Department of Information Technology (DIT).

The first patient in the UK has been treated with a pioneering new radiotherapy machine. The MR Linac simultaneously scans tumours inside the body while delivering X-ray radiation beams.

The MRI-Linac Consortium will be entering prospective and retrospective data on subjects treated with MRI-guided radiotherapy across multiple tumor sites.

The LINAC, which joins three other machines in use at Southend Hospital, works by using beams of high-energy X-rays or electrons.

Unlike conventional Linac systems, which entail separate imaging and radiation delivery processes, this advanced technology integrates the two processes. Traditionally, patients are imaged using ...
