MRI is attractive as radio therapy guidance and control
method due to its soft tissue contrast and its absence
of X-ray radiation. We report on a proof of concept of
an integrated radio-oncology LINAC treatment machine
within an MRI system resulting in a reasonably compact
and cost efficient device. Experimental prof is given
which demonstrates operating a conventional 6 MeV LINAC
within a conventional superconducting high field MRI
magnet.
