Investigation of Micron-Scale Radiotherapy Dose Deposition in the Lung: Effect of Magnetic Field and Nanoparticles—a Monte Carlo Simulation

Investigation of Micron-Scale Radiotherapy Dose Deposition in the Lung: Effect of Magnetic Field and Nanoparticles—a Monte Carlo Simulation

MRI-Linacs couple magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with a linear accelerator (Linac) to enable MR-guided radiotherapy. The magnetic field is known to cause inhomogeneities in the pattern of dose deposition at centimeter-scale air-tissue interfaces such as pockets of digestive gas but has not been st...
