Objective: To identify the locations of linear accelerators, the equipment used to deliver radiation therapy, in Georgia. Identify the rural counties in Georgia to determine how far residents of those counties must drive to reach the closest linear accelerator. Methods: A study was performed to find the distance from the geographical center of each rural county in Georgia to the closest linear accelerator within the state. The rural counties in Georgia were defined using 2017 data from the Georgia Department of Community Health. Linear accelerator locations were identified using vendor data. Reverse geocoding from the Google Maps platform found the geographical centers of each rural county. Google Maps was then utilized to find the distance...
