Cancer treatment plan. Computer displaying a radiotherapy treatment plan for targeting cancer (red) in the neck and mouth using a linear accelerator. A perspex model of a Varian linear accelerator is seen at bottom. These treatment machines are used in radiotherapy as a source of high-voltage X-rays, which can deliver a precisely targeted dose of radiation to treat some cancers. This treatment is often combined with surgery or chemotherapy (drug treatment). Photographed at the Edinburgh Cancer Centre, UK.
