[QUOTE="James Snover, post: 16201839, member: 67454"] Looks like an old xray-therapy machine. Pre-WWII through the mid-'50's, some folks believed that exposing troublesome parts of the body to xray was actually good for you. That it was like concentrated sunlight. Like drinking Mercury for your health, it was quickly discovered, the hard way, that no, xray therapy was not good for anyone for any reason. But it did lead to the development of linear accelerators and the practice of radiation therapy as we know it today. The differences are: linear accelerators are way in the Hell up there in energy, way past xray. They are specifically targeted on tumors, and great care is taken to shield the rest of the patient to the extent possible from any exposure. All of which led to Proton Beam Therapy, which bombards tumors with super-accurately aimed Hydrogen nuclei. They pack a huge punch and since protons are charged particles, they can be super-accurately aimed on a specific spot, and stopped, even, once they reach their destination. [/QUOTE]
