<div><font size="4">The evolution of radiation therapy is characterized by the goal of delivering as much energy as needed to the disease and minimizing the energy deposited elsewhere. Various forms of ionizing radiation delivery
systems have been conceived over the past 50 years or more including the more recent rise of particle therapy systems. The technology used in these systems will be described including the accelerators and the beam delivery systems that have been and are planned
to be used. This modality has shifted from laboratory based to vendor provided equipment in Hospital settings. Some of the promises and perils of these systems will be discussed.</font></div>
