If anyone is interested in how modern versions of these machines work, the annual conference for the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) is currently proceeding at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC, and will continue until Thursday, August 4th. It's the largest international gathering of medical physicists in the world. If anyone is in the area and interested, you shouldn't have much trouble sneaking in and taking a stroll through the vendor area where you can see examples of the newest technologies in imaging and therapy physics. Just dress business casual and you'll blend right in with the other couple thousand physicists.
