Radiation - 3 (of 30) - The Blue Machine

3 down, 27 to go.  I took some photos of my linear accelerator, aka the Blue Machine: TrueBeam by Varian.  You can consult the googles to learn more.  Or you can visit BWH - they'll let anyone back there to check it out if they want (just not when it's actually running!).  The front part spins 360 degrees so they can zap you from all sides.  I'm facedown so I don't get to see it in action, but it makes fun whirring and beeping noises, and I can tell when it's done by the movement of the table.  The table is raised high for treatment, right under the beaming part.  I'm getting better at positioning and staying still.  Good for me.
