Definition of Cyclotrons
1. cyclotron [n] - See also: cyclotron
Medical Definition of Cyclotrons
1. Devices for accelerating charged particles in a spiral path by a constant-frequency alternating electric field. This electric field is synchronised with the movement of the particles in a constant magnetic field. (12 Dec 1998)
