Many of us have never heard of a linear accelerator. Unless you are in the medical field or involved in radiation treatment you might not realize how important this one piece of medical equipment is to the health care industry. No time is a good time for medical facilities to have a piece of equipment down but especially so in the case of radiation oncology equipment like linear accelerators. This is one of the main reasons that replacement parts for linear accelerators and other radiation oncology equipment are in high demand. When a piece of radiation equipment breaks down it is crucial to the treatment of patients that it is repaired quickly to avoid downtime in patient care. In this installment we will look at the applications of linear accelerators in medical facilities.
