tlooto Summary

The 0.35 T MR-Linac combines a 6MV linac with onboard MR imaging that provides superior soft-tissue contrast compared to X-ray IGRT and allows a fully integrated on-table adaptive workflow.

Abstract

Highlights • The 0.35 T MR-Linac combines a 6MV linac with onboard MR imaging.• MR imaging provides superior soft-tissue contrast compared to X-ray IGRT.• The system allows a fully integrated on-table adaptive workflow.• Cine MR enables automated beam gating based on live anatomy.
