Limitations of image-guidance based on MV and kV radiation beams prompted development of systems combining linear accelerators and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanners. Unique characteristics of these systems and mutual interactions between their components pose specific challenges for their commissioning and quality assurance. Photon beam is not affected by the magnetic field; however secondary electronsRead more…
