Radiation Therapy Equipment

The Radiation Oncology Center at MedVet houses leading-edge radiation therapy equipment and systems, including a Varian linear accelerator, a linear accelerator vault with concrete walls up to 5 ½ feet thick, sevoflurane gas anesthesia equipment, and a three-dimensional radiation treatment planning system.

Varian Linear Accelerator

The Center uses a Varian linear accelerator with 6MV photons and five different electron energies to provide radiation therapy to MedVet cancer patients.

The gantry of the linear accelerator can be rotated 360 degrees to deliver the radiation from any angle.
