Online MR image-guided radiotherapy: MR-linac

The concept of combining magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology with a linear accelerator (linac) was first realised in the early 2000s. The subsequent development of the MR-linac has enabled online MR image-guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) and thus online adaptive radiotherapy. Currently there are two clinical systems available with two more in development phase (table 1). The […]

The changing roles of electronic portal imaging devices in radiotherapy

Historically, portal films were used in radiotherapy to verify treatment field placement and patient positioning. These films were placed orthogonal to the beam axis behind the patient. The films were exposed using the mega-voltage (MV) energy photons of the treatment beam and were subsequently analysed to ensure that the patient was being treated as planned […]
