Influence of a transverse magnetic field on the dose deposited by a 6 MV linear accelerator

Influence of a transverse magnetic field on the dose deposited by a 6 MV linear accelerator

An integrated system of a linear accelerator and a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device may provide real-time imaging during radiotherapy treatments. This work investigated changes affecting the dose deposition caused by a magnetic field (B-field) transverse to the beam direction by means of Mont...
