Abstract:
Given the importance of devices used in the field of medicine in terms of diagnosis and treatment, and the great importance of this topic in accelerating early diagnosis and saving the lives of the largest possible number of people, we decided to study one of these devices to better define its components and review some of the difficulties.
Many linear accelerators for hybrid magnetic resonance imaging have been developed as a result of the need to profit from directed images of tissues and various body sections during radiation therapy (linear accelerators). There are now a number of linear accelerators for magnetic resonance imaging that cover both low and high magnetic field strengths as well as two directions of the beam field; these systems have the potential to be beneficial. This technology has only recently been used in clinical trials. However, its continued usage as a routine radiation therapy procedure is certain. The majority of the key elements and difficulties encountered in the creation of such technology as well as its present state are outlined in this review article.
