Global Radiation Therapy Equipment Market - Key Trends & Drivers Summarized
Radiation therapy equipment is critical in the treatment of cancer, utilizing high-energy radiation to target and destroy malignant cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. The primary types of radiation therapy equipment include linear accelerators (LINACs), brachytherapy devices, and proton therapy systems. LINACs are the most widely used devices, producing high-energy x-rays or electrons that are precisely directed at cancerous tumors. Brachytherapy involves placing radioactive sources directly inside or next to the tumor, providing a high radiation dose to the cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue. Proton therapy systems use protons instead of x-rays, offering a more targeted approach that is particularly beneficial for treating tumors located near critical structures.Technological advancements have significantly enhanced the precision, effectiveness, and safety of radiation therapy equipment.
