Prone Breast Radiotherapy on the MR‐Linac: A Technical Note on Skin‐Couch Contact Dose Effects
This retrospective planning study evaluated the dosimetric effects of skin‐couch contact during prone APBI on a 1.5 T MR‐Linac by comparing treatment plans calculated with and without a magnetic field. While the presence of the magnetic field increased overall superficial skin dose, it consistently reduced dose at the skin‐couch contact region ...

In 2020, our institution transitioned to the Eclipse™ treatment planning system and to Truebeam® linear accelerators with 6 MV and 10 MV energies. The linear accelerators were installed in smaller bunkers that could not accommodate 400 cm FAD. A multidisciplinary team within the institution was created to evaluate existing total body irradiation ...
