Gel dosimetry was developed in the 1990s in response to a growing need for methods to
validate the radiation dose distribution delivered to cancer patients receiving high-precision …

Purpose We describe the acceptance testing, commissioning, periodic quality assurance,
and workflow procedures developed for the first clinically implemented magnetic resonance …

Dose calculation algorithms based on Monte Carlo (MC) simulations play a crucial role in
radiotherapy. Here, the development and benchmarking of a novel MC dose engine …

Background and purpose The strong magnetic field of integrated magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) and radiation treatment systems influences secondary electrons resulting in …

Dosimetric quality assurance (QA) of the new Elekta Unity (MR-linac) will differ from the QA
performed of a conventional linac due to the constant magnetic field, which creates an …

Purpose Tools to perform regular quality assurance of magnetic resonance image‐guided
radiotherapy (MRIgRT) systems should ideally be independent of interference from the …

Abstract Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanners are widely used for 3D gel
dosimeters readout. However, limited access to MRI scanners is a challenge in MRI-based …

Online adaptive radiation therapy (ART) based on real-time magnetic resonance imaging
represents a paradigm-changing treatment scheme. However, conventional quality …

Major advances in external beam radiation therapy in the last decade have provided
technologies for planning and delivering highly conformal radiation dose distributions made …

Background The demand for dose verification during treatment has risen with the increasing
use of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy …
