    • Electron contamination modeling and reduction in a 1 T open bore inline MRI-linac system 

      Oborn, B; Kolling, S; Metcalfe, P; Crozier, S; Litzenberg, D; Keall, P
      Published 2014-05-01
      PURPOSE: A potential side effect of inline MRI-linac systems is electron contamination focusing causing a high skin dose. In this work, the authors reexamine this prediction for an open bore 1 T MRI system being constructed ...
