Model for Estimating Power and Downtime Effects on Teletherapy Units in Low-Resource Settings

PURPOSE: More than 6,500 megavoltage teletherapy units are needed worldwide, many in low-resource settings. Cobalt-60 units or linear accelerators (linacs) can fill this need. We have evaluated machine performance on the basis of patient throughput to provide insight into machine viability under var...
