The impact of a 1.5 T MRI linac fringe field on neighbouring linear accelerators

Background and purpose: This study investigates the influence of an MRI linac fringe field on neighbouring radiotherapy accelerators and whether restoring their original steering calibration can be used to shorten downtime after changes of the magnetic field of the MRI linac. Methods and materials:...
