MLC's (multi leaf collimators) are made up of tungsten leaves. They can move independently to shield healthy tissue from receiving radiation dose.

The electron gun is located at the back of the Linear Accelerator and isn't something you would usually see during radiotherapy treatment.
We were fortunate enough to get a sneaky peak during our weekly service.

Did you know?...

*The Gantry can move around a patient at 360°

*The Collimators can move to angle treatment beams to avoid irradiating healthy tissue. It contains collimating blocks and leaves, which can be adjusted to create beams of multiple shapes and sizes.

Whilst a patient is having radiotherapy treatment, radiation is omitted from either the Gantry (MV xrays) or from the KV source arm (KV xrays), which pass through the patient. An image is then detected on the opposite imaging detector to produce a digitised image of the patient.

If we are happy with the image, we then proceed to treatment.

Thank you to all the Engineers and Physics team who help keep these machines running smoothly.
