Harmony is a linear accelerator device used in radiotherapy. Harmony, which can be utilized in treatment of any cancer that requires radiotherapy, can irradiate a tumor with a precision of 1 mm. Thus, the radiation doses are delivered in a configuration very close to the shape of the tumor, resulting with efficient protection of the peripheral healthy tissues.
