Initial clinical experience with using a 1.5 Tesla MR-Linac for stereotactic body radiotherapy for cancer of the upper abdomen

Abstract: Background Traditional radiation therapy for upper abdominal tumors requires relatively large margins around the tumor to account for respiratory motion, which limits the dose that can be safely delivered to the tumor. Magnetic resonance (MR) -guided radiotherapy provides optimal visualization of soft tissues, which can be improved still further by use of contrast-enhancing agents.
