A new hybrid imaging-treatment modality, the MRI-Linac, involves the irradiation of the
patient in the presence of a strong magnetic field. This field acts on the charged particles …

Purpose: The clinical commissioning of IMRT subject to a magnetic field is challenging. The
purpose of this work is to develop a GPU‐accelerated Monte Carlo dose calculation platform …

The MRI-linear accelerator system, currently being developed, is designed such that the
patient is irradiated in the presence of a magnetic field. This influences the dose distribution …

Purpose: This paper provides a comparison between a fast, commercial, in‐patient Monte
Carlo dose calculation algorithm (GPUMCD) and geant4. It also evaluates the dosimetric …

A combined system of a 6 MV linear accelerator and a 1.5 T MRI scanner is currently being
developed. In this system, the patient will be irradiated in the presence of a 1.5 T magnetic …

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES: In radiotherapy the healthy tissue involvement still poses serious
dose limitations. This results in sub-optimal tumour dose and complications. Daily image …

A novel geometry has been proposed for a hybrid magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)‐linac
system in which a 6 MV linac is mounted on the open end of a biplanar, low field (0.2 T) MRI …

MR‐guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) is one of the most significant advances in radiotherapy in
recent years. The hybrid systems were designed to visualize patient anatomical and …

Integrating magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) functionality with a radiotherapy accelerator
can facilitate on-line, soft-tissue based, position verification. A technical feasibility study, in …

Purpose: Unique characteristics of MRI-linac systems and mutual interactions between their
components pose specific challenges for their commissioning and quality assurance. The …
