- Linear accelerator: ions are accelerated along a linear path by voltage differences on electrodes along the path
- A linear particle accelerator (often shortened to linac) is a type of particle accelerator that greatly increases the velocity of charged subatomic particles or ions by subjecting the charged particles to a series of oscillating electric potentials along a linear beamline; this method of ...
- Linear accelerator is a radiosurgical machine that produces radiation electronically. These radiation beams are called X-rays. LINACs are also commonly used for conventional radiation treatment of tumors elsewhere in the body.
- A non-incision surgical device that uses high-energy X-rays to cause precisely aimed damage to targeted tissues. Often used for tumors, but sometimes for TN.
- A device that is used to deliver high-dose, focused beam radiation for the treatment of AVMs (and also tumors) of the brain. This is one of two commonly used ways to perform radiosurgery.
