Philips, Elekta Build MR-guided Linear Accelerator In The Netherlands

The National Cancer Institute (NKI) has begun construction on a high-field MR-guided linear accelerator (MR-linac) system, making it the third member of the Elekta MR-linac Consortium to do so since Elekta partnered with Philips in 2012. The MR-linac system, which combines MRI with radiation delivery, allows oncologists to better target difficult cancers and reduce the amount of radiation used in cancer therapies.
