MR-linacs enable online adaptive radiotherapy, which increases dose conformality and thus potentially improves therapeutic ratios. A recurring drawback with respect to C-arm linacs is the lack of VMAT leading to decreased efficiency. Recently, it was demonstr...

Can VMAT Reduce Treatment Time on the MR-Linac without Compromising Plan Quality?
This study investigates the feasibility of VMAT treatments on the MR-Linac by comparing planned and measured quality and deliverability of investigational VMAT plans with existing clinical IMRT plans to determine whether VMAT can maintain clinically acceptabl...

Reducing IMRT Delivery Times By Accelerating Segment Loading and MLC Positioning for the 1.5 T MR-linac
Intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) is the current standard delivery technique on MR-linacs. IMRT deliveries cycle between radiating and moving segments, each starting with loading the segment. More complex plans usually contain more radiating segments, i...
