Course description

Radiotherapy equipment is used to deliver controlled radiation doses for cancer treatment. Key equipment includes linear accelerators (LINACs), brachytherapy devices, and proton therapy machines, ensuring precise targeting of tumors while minimizing damage to healthy tissues. Advanced imaging systems like CT and MRI aid in treatment planning and accuracy. Continuous innovations in radiotherapy technology enhance treatment effectiveness and patient safety.
