THE ELECTRONS ARE ACCELERATED THROUGH A VACUUM CHAMBER BY MICROWAVES TO NEARLY THE SPEED OF LIGHT, AN ACTION THAT GREATLY BOOSTS THEIR ENERGY LEVELS. THESE SPEEDING ELECTRONS BOMBARD A METAL TARGET, USUALLY TUNGSTEN, CAUSING IT TO EMIT X RAYS, WHICH ARE COLLIMATED INTO PENCIL-THIN BEAMS THAT CAN BE ADJUSTED TO COVER THE 4 - TO 25 -MILLION-VOLT SPREAD OF ENERGIES NEEDED TO PENETRATE TUMORS. THE BEAMS ARE INTENSE, MEANING THEY CONTAIN A LARGE NUMBER OF X-RAY PHOTONS.
