thingiverse

This printed medical linac, which can rotate around the patient, was designed by a summer student (Cameron Tharp) at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. The concept is for patient education, but might also be useful for trainee dosimetrists or other staff in radiation oncology. Also see our CT scanner.
