Market size of Medical Linear Accelerator

Are you looking to acquire a medical linear accelerator for your healthcare organisation? Searching for a suitable market information for medical linear accelerator? Information related to demand and supply of medical linear accelerator. In this article, Hospaccx Healthcare Consultancy has mapped all
the information related to the medical linear accelerator.

 

Introduction:

A linear accelerator, or LINAC, is a machine that is commonly used to deliver external beam radiation treatments to cancer patients. To meet a patient’s specific needs, a radiation oncologist will work with a dosimetrist and a medical physicist to develop an individualised treatment plan, including an appropriate radiation treatment delivery method, schedule, and dosage. The medical professional who operates the LINAC is known as a radiation therapist.

LINAC targets and destroys cancerous cells in a precise area of a patient’s body with minimal exposure to the surrounding healthy tissue. To ensure patient safety, a linear accelerator has several built-in protective measures designed to prevent the delivery of dosages above the prescribed amount.
