Linear Accelerator Spare Parts

   What is a linear accelerator, the answer to the question; It is a device used in radiation therapy processes of cancer patients. External beam is important in the scope of radiation therapy.  Radiation therapy is a comprehensive process. During this process, a radiation oncologist is needed to meet the specific needs of the patient. Apart from the oncologist, a medical physicist may be needed for the method, program and dose of radiation therapy. Also called a radiation therapist, the person who operates the linear accelerator is the medical professional. It is expected that this whole process will be implemented within the framework of a personalized treatment plan specific to the patient. 

What Does a Linear Accelerator Do?

  The linear accelerator device is used in the oncology department of hospitals. The linear accelerator, accompanied by appropriate energy, is used in the treatment of cells in certain areas of the patient.  The energy level is programmed according to the size of the tumor cell and specific to each session. The linear accelerator is a well-equipped device. There are additional programs that prevent exceeding the determined energy level. In this way, the patient is prevented from being exposed to energy above the programmed energy level.

The linear accelerator is generally concentrated in areas where cancerous cells are collected. The aim is to reduce the number of cancerous cells. The second goal is to work in a way that causes minimal damage to healthy cells. While fighting cancerous cells, the number of healthy cells should not be reduced.

The linear accelerator is applied to the cell at a certain level due to the existing programming. On the other hand, each linear accelerator needs to be checked regularly. There is a device called the tracker. Using this device, the medical professional can observe the consistency of the dosage of the beam given to the patient. In order for the linear accelerator to fulfill its function, such additional features and devices are required.

The linear accelerator can be applied to any area where cancerous cells are found. Thanks to this feature, it has a very common usage area. Various radiation distribution techniques are available.

  • stereotactic body radiation therapy

  • Image guided radiation therapy

  • Intensity-modulated radiation therapy

  • Conventional external beam radiation therapy

The goal of these radiation treatments is to reduce the number of cancerous cells. Thus, it is possible to increase the patient's quality of life. Targeted therapies are always effective. The linear accelerator is repeatedly tested to achieve the best results. Specific linear accelerator devices have been developed to organize special radiation therapies.

 

Linear Accelerator Features

 

  Linear Accelerator generally fights cancerous cells in every part of the body. Some of the most frequently used sections are as follows;

  • Brain

  • Spine

  • Liver

  • Prostate

  • Stomach

The linear accelerator features are multidimensional. 3D image guidance is an essential feature. With this feature, the targeted area can be scanned easily. Thus, the area outside the area where the rays are applied will be protected. The linear accelerator has the ability to adjust the specific beam level according to specific cancer types. In this way, a planned treatment management can be possible. Good programming and planning has important consequences. It is ensured that the malignant tumor can be found more quickly and easily.

The linear accelerator can be used under certain conditions. The cancer level of the patient and the area where the cells are located must be suitable for treatment. It is necessary to remain still during the treatment. In this direction, some additional devices can be used.

  • Face mask

  • head frame

  • body mold

Small tattoos or ink markings are used to make the linear accelerator scan fully functional. In this way, the speed and effect of the treatment is increased. These are the conditions necessary for the patient to regain his health as soon as possible. The realization of these conditions will have positive results in favor of the patient.

The radiation therapist plays an active role in the programming and implementation of the linear accelerator. It is important that the patient stays in contact with the radiation therapist throughout the irradiation period. In order to carry out this communication in a healthy way, the linear accelerator has the feature of leaving the communication channel open during the teleportation. It is an important feature for the healthy progress of the process and the motivation of the patient.

The question of who is responsible for operating the linear accelerator is a very common question. Radiation oncologists often prescribe treatment intensity and size to patients. In addition, the dosimetrist and medical physicist are active in the implementation and safety processes. In particular, they are involved in deciding the dosage amount and duration by calculating the acceleration time. Radiation therapy also includes linear acceleration. Radiation therapists may routinely give radiation medication to patients with cancer.

 

Linear accelerator is also known as linear accelerator. The linear accelerator has a part called a waveguide. In this section, microwave technology is used to accelerate electrons. Electrons are transmitted to the patient from the part called accelerator sensor. The accelerated electrons collide with a heavy metal target. These collisions are necessary for the radiation beam to form. As a result of the collision, high-energy x-rays are emitted from the target. Some of these x-rays are collected on the accelerator board. It is then shaped to form a beam suitable for the patient's tumor. The beam is scattered from a section of the linear accelerator called the portal that revolves around the patient. The patient is placed in a treatment bed. He or she may use lasers to make sure the patient is in a suitable condition. Radiation can be delivered to the cancerous cells from the desired angle by rotating the linear accelerator and moving the treatment bed.

 

  Linear Accelerator Application and Safety

 

The linear accelerator is a comprehensive device. It works by the transition of electrons from positive potential to negative potential. The rays are getting faster and faster due to the positive and negative potential differences. There are two separate tubes for electrons to move. Electrons move on these tubes. During this movement, the rays to be applied to the patient find the opportunity to progress in an accelerated manner.

The length of the tubes is specially designed for the rays to gain more acceleration. As the electrons get closer to the final target, they reach their maximum velocity. The linear accelerator consists of tubes that are long in size for maximum speed level.

Linear accelerator machines are one of the most frequently used applications for cancer treatment. The application of this method causes higher radioactive energy production compared to other methods. Therefore, linear accelerator may cause some harmful effects on healthy cells of patients if necessary safety precautions are not taken. There are security procedures to be followed to prevent this. Medical professionals such as radiation therapists are responsible for monitoring these procedures. In order to use the application correctly, it is important to manage the beam level to be applied in a controlled manner.

 

 

For patients undergoing cancer treatment, it is essential to ensure safety when applying linear accelerator parts. The radio oncologist takes an active role in the execution of the safety process. Review the patient's medical history. It ensures the creation of appropriate treatment in line with medical reports.  The oncologist does not manage this process alone. For this reason, a linear accelerator application and safety plan is made with the help of a dosimetrist and radiation physicist before the treatment.

There are reliable procedures that bring the necessary and quality treatment to a result. These procedures are planned in detail before the surgery. The process also includes the assurance that the therapy will be delivered in detail. It is specially designed for linear accelerator controlled radiation application. The beam level of the device can be changed. Doctors can adjust for treatment.

There is a second device called the tracker, which is part of the security procedure. It is a safe machine that checks whether the linear accelerator is working correctly. A radiation therapist will check the linear accelerator via the tracker each morning before treatment. The viewer is watching the rays exactly. It monitors the radiation rate and dosage to ensure smooth delivery of the rays. In this process, the radiation physicist also checks the device monthly and weekly.
