has gloss | eng: Megavoltage X-rays are produced by linear accelerators ("linacs") operating at voltages in excess of 1000 kV (1 MV) range, and therefore have an energy in the MeV range (see external beam radiotherapy for an explanation of the maximum and mean energies as a function of voltage). Beams with the voltage range of 4-25 MV are used to treat patients because radiation oncologists find that they penetrate well to deep sites within the body. |
lexicalization | eng: Megavoltage X-rays |
instance of | (noun) electromagnetic radiation of short wavelength produced when high-speed electrons strike a solid target X ray, X-radiation, X-ray, roentgen ray |
