Linear Accelerator

Preferred Label : Linear Accelerator;

NCIt related terms : mega-voltage linear accelerator; MeV linear accelerator; LINAC;

NCIt definition : A type of particle accelerator that generates ionizing radiation by colliding subatomic particles traveling at high speeds along a straight chamber. This creates high-energy radiation that may be used to treat cancer.;

Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: 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.; CDISC: A type of particle accelerator that generates ionizing radiation by colliding subatomic particles traveling at high speeds along a straight chamber.;
