The integration of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and linear accelerators into hybrid
treatment systems has made MR-guided radiation therapy a clinical reality. This work …

The integration of 1.5 T MRI functionality with a radiotherapy linear accelerator (linac) has
been pursued since 1999 by the UMC Utrecht in close collaboration with Elekta and Philips …

The desire to utilise soft-tissue image guidance at the time of radiation treatment has led to
the development of several hybrid magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) linear accelerators …

Abstract Background Magnetic Resonance linear accelerator (MR-linac) systems represent
