In treatment of cancer by conventional radiotherapy,
motion of the target and nearby organs limits the
accuracy of the treatment delivery. A combined MRI and
linear accelerator system (MR-Linac) aims to reduce
these inaccuracies by providing image guidance with
excellent soft-tissue contrast. In this abstract, MR
performance of an industry-built 1.5T MR-Linac prototype
was evaluated by comparing the image quality to that
obtained with a commercially available 1.5T scanner.
Pelvis, abdomen, and head & neck anatomies of 20 healthy
volunteers were studied. No significant differences in
the image quality or SNR were found.
