Investigating the use of a solid water and copper electron filter for reducing skin dose in an inline MRI‐linac
Incorporating the CuEF above the phantom surface in the inline MRI-linac prototype notably reduces the intensity of the skin dose hot spot, proving to be a more effective solution than a standard 2 cm water block across all field sizes.
