LINEAR ACCELERATOR

HOW DOES IT WORK?

1. PATIENT'S POSITIONING

- 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

2. MULTILEAF COLLIMATOR (MLC)

- 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

3. TC CONE BEAM

- prostate cancer

- the TC cone beam starts hitting perfectly the cancer without comproming other tissues or organs thanks to the multileaf collimator.
