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 …

In magnetic resonance (MR) guided radiotherapy, the magnetic field-dependent change in
the dose response of ionization chambers is typically included by means of a correction …

At the UMC Utrecht, in collaboration with Elekta and Philips Research Hamburg, we are
developing a radiotherapy accelerator with integrated MRI functionality. The radiation dose …

The UMC Utrecht is constructing a 1.5 T MRI scanner integrated with a linear accelerator
(Lagendijk et al 2008 Radiother. Oncol. 86 25–9). The goal of this device is to facilitate soft …

Purpose The magnetic field can cause a nonnegligible dosimetric effect in an MR‐Linac
system. This effect should be accurately accounted for by the beam models in treatment …

Integrated magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and radiotherapy (RT) delivery machines are
currently being developed, with some already in clinical use. It is anticipated that the strong …

Several institutes are currently working on the development of a radiotherapy treatment
system with online MR imaging (MRI) modality. The main difference between their designs is …

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 …

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 …

In the framework of the development of the integration of a MRI-scanner with a linear
accelerator, the influence of a lateral, magnetic field on the dose distribution has to be …
