The Elekta Unity MR-linac adaptive radiotherapy concept is explained and different methods for dose re-calculation and optimization are discussed, with full online re-planning being the most robust adaptive planning method for the Unity.

Abstract

Highlights • The Elekta Unity MR-linac adaptive radiotherapy concept is explained.• The adapt to shape and adapt to position workflows are compared.• Different methods for dose re-calculation and optimization are discussed.• Full online re-planning is the most robust adaptive planning method for the Unity.• Faster methods are available, but should be dosimetrically explored per use case.
