Abstract

Abstract: Multiple vendors are now offering real-time MRI-guided radiotherapy systems. Quality assurance of the imaging and radiation isocentre alignment is an essential component of the QA programme for any linear accelerator used for delivering image-guided radiotherapy. In this work, the authors describe the design and feasibility testing of a device that combines a high resolution monolithic silicon strip detector with an MRI visible phantom for characterisation of optical, MR imaging and radiation isocentre for inline MR-guided radiotherapy systems.
