The data reported by participants shows that the number of patients accommodated by each external-beam treatment unit (typically a linear accelerator) generally decreases when a site has two or more external-beam treatment units.
Based on responses to IMV’s 2003 Radiation Oncology Census Study
One factor influencing this may be that sites with more linear accelerator and cobalt-60 systems tend to manage more complex treatments, which may take more time to perform.
