Linac Machine Financing in Canada

Linear accelerators—commonly known as Linacs—play a crucial role in modern cancer treatment. As one of the most advanced technologies in radiation therapy, Linacs deliver targeted, high-energy radiation to destroy tumors with minimal damage to healthy tissue. For hospitals and oncology clinics across Canada, these machines are not only life-saving—they are essential.

At Mehmi Financial Group, based in Mississauga, Ontario, we specialize in financing and leasing medical equipment, including Linac systems. We help Canadian healthcare providers—from Toronto to Calgary, Vancouver to Halifax—acquire the equipment they need without the strain of upfront costs.

What Is a Linac?

A linear accelerator (Linac) is a radiation therapy device that generates high-energy x-rays or electrons for the treatment of cancer. These rays are shaped and directed to conform to the size, shape, and location of a tumor, minimizing harm to healthy tissue and maximizing therapeutic precision.

How Does a Medical Linac Work?

A Linac accelerates electrons using electromagnetic waves. These high-speed electrons strike a heavy metal target to produce high-energy x-rays, which are focused on cancerous cells. The radiation beam can be carefully shaped and controlled based on imaging and treatment planning.

This allows oncologists to:

• Accurately target tumors
• Protect surrounding organs and healthy tissues
• Deliver treatment with precision and repeatability

Applications of Linac Machines

Linacs are primarily used in:

• External beam radiation therapy (EBRT)
• Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)
• Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT)
• Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT)
• Treatment of tumors in the brain, lungs, breast, prostate, and more

Why Financing a Linac Makes Sense

Modern Linac machines can cost $1 million to $5 million CAD, depending on the model and features. That’s why healthcare facilities across Canada often turn to equipment financing to stay on the cutting edge.

Benefits of Financing or Leasing:

• Preserve hospital cash flow
• Spread cost over 5–10 years
• Enable early upgrades to newer models
• Align equipment usage with operating revenue
• Possible tax deductions for lease payments or depreciation

We provide custom loan structures and lease plans for private clinics, cancer centers, and public health institutions across Canada.

Frequently Asked Questions: Linac Machines

1. What is a Linac?
   A Linac is a linear accelerator used in radiation therapy to deliver high-energy x-rays or electrons to treat cancer.
2. What are the main applications of a Linac?
   Linacs are used in external beam radiation therapy (EBRT), including IMRT, SBRT, and IGRT to treat a wide range of cancers.
3. How does a medical Linac work?
   It accelerates electrons and directs them toward a target, producing x-rays focused on tumors while minimizing damage to healthy tissue.
4. What are the advantages of using a Linac in cancer treatment?
   Linacs allow for highly precise targeting, reduced side effects, adaptable treatment plans, and real-time monitoring via integrated imaging systems.
5. How much does a Linac cost?
   A Linac typically costs between $1 million and $5 million CAD, depending on manufacturer, configuration, and software integrations.
6. How often is maintenance required for a Linac?
   Linacs require regular calibration and preventive maintenance, often quarterly, with full service contracts recommended for uptime assurance.
7. Can Linacs be used for imaging purposes?
   Yes. Many modern Linacs include on-board imaging (OBI) systems for precise tumor location and treatment verification before each session.
