Components of a medical linear accelerator

This video was given as class to our graduate students and residents in summer 2020. We cover all the major components in a modern gantry-based medical linear accelerator. We discuss the target, primary collimator, flattening filters and scattering foils, mirror, monitor chamber, jaws and MLCs. We also discuss some of the beam generation components such as the electron gun, magnetron and waveguide.
