Vendors are increasingly focusing on the integration of cutting-edge imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and positron emission tomography with linear particle accelerators. Such integrations enable real time visualization of tumors through image guided radiotherapy. For example, prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET), imaging for prostate cancer, is an emerging technology that is anticipated to greatly enhance the detection and treatment of prostate cancer.
Linear particle accelerators are also finding increasing adoption in treatment of re-occurring cancers and in palliative care to manage symptoms and to improve quality of life of the patient.
