Clinical comparison of four commercial MRI phantoms on a 0.35T MR-linac using a standard clinical TRUFI sequence at a single institution. [PDF]
Abstract Purpose Real‑time magnetic resonance–guided radiation therapy (MRgRT) integrates MRI with a linear accelerator (Linac) for gating and adaptive radiotherapy, which requires robust image‑quality assurance over a large field of view (FOV). Specialized phantoms capable of accommodating this extensive FOV are therefore essential.

Characterisation and application of three-dimensional silicone-based radiochromic dosimetry in 1.5 T magnetic resonance imaging-guided radiotherapy [PDF]
The magnetic field in magnetic resonance imaging-guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) systems influences the three-dimensional (3D) dose deposition and hence the delivered dose distributions.

Characterization of radiotherapy component impact on MR imaging quality for an MRgRT system [PDF]
AbstractRadiotherapy components of an magnetic resonnace‐guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) system can alter the magnetic fields, causing spatial distortion and image deformation, altering imaging and radiation isocenter coincidence and the accuracy of dose calculations.

Characterization of mechanical and radiation isocenter on an MR‐guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) Linac
AbstractBackground and PurposeIn the emerging paradigm of stereotactic radiosurgery being proposed for MR‐guided radiotherapy (MRgRT), assessment of mechanical geometric accuracy is critical for the implementation of stereotactic delivery. We benchmarked the mechanical accuracy of an MR Linac system that lacks an onboard detector/array.

Magnetic Resonance Guided Radiotherapy (MRgRT) For Cardiac Lymphomas: Case Report and New Perspectives [PDF]
Cardiac lymphomas are extremely rare and have poor prognoses. Currently, there are no established guidelines for treatment and the main approaches include surgery, chemotherapy (CHT), possibly combined with radiotherapy (RT), and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). RT’s role is controversial and is not considered a standard approach.
