Megavoltage X-rays refer to high-energy X-ray radiation typically used in radiation therapy for treating cancer. The term "megavoltage" generally indicates that the energy of the X-rays is measured in megavolts (MV), which corresponds to energies greater than 1 million electron volts. In clinical practice, megavoltage X-rays are produced using linear accelerators (LINACs).
