Medical applications of Free-Electron Lasers(FELs), especially the FEL driven by a superconducting rf linac, look very promising because of the compactness, high efficiency, high power capability, tunability, ultra-short pulse width and so on. Here, the linac-based FEL is explained briefly and discussed all about the remarkable features and the road maps near future. Finally, some possible and usable applications of the FELs will be introduced and discussed in the relationship with the features above.
