Meanings of linac in English

The efficient delivery with existing linac and MLC makes IMAT a practical choice.

Mechanical precision is superior for the gamma knife as compared with the linac.

The linac allows flexible, ready access to individualized beam control, without intrinsic field size limitations.

Treatment planning for the linac is not standardized, but existing systems are based on well-known algorithms.

Fixed-field intensity-modulated treatments, delivered by conventional linac-plus-multileaf systems, have rapidly become the most common form of IMRT.

In this study, we evaluated the performance of an Elekta linac in the delivery of gated radiotherapy.

In this study, we have characterized the efficiency of an Elekta linac in the delivery of gated radiotherapy.

The other 85 were planned on the Pinnacle TPS with the CCC algorithm and treated on a Varian linac.

On the other hand, equally excellent clinical results are obtained for small lesions with photon beams-thegamma knife and the linac.

This is especially important in the newly proposed methodologies of MR-only simulation in RT and in adaptive replanning in MR linac systems.

Since the linac could only focus its killer beam on local sites, it would have to be a local, not a systemic, cancer.

The photoneutron dose equivalent in a linac radiotherapy room and its entrance maze was investigated by means of Monte Carlo simulations under different conditions.

We then developed a prototype instrument incorporating that air-gap and, for a 6 MV linac, tested it experimentally against EBT3 film.

IMAT treatment delivery was accomplished by programming the linear accelerator (linac) to deliver an arc and the MLC to step through a sequence of fields.

Recently, linacs with an integrated magnetic resonance image-guidance system have become clinically available.

Four different TPS and six different LINACS were used.
