Basic System
Characteristics
•
Linacs produce
radiofrequency
emissions that can
significantly degrade the
quality of MRI images
•
Shielding combines RF
absorbing carbon fiber
and RF reflecting copper
materials for a robust
shielding solution
•
Surrounds the pulse
transformer, magnetron,
linear accelerator body,
and gun driver
components of the
system
