Acceptance testing of a 0.35 T MR‐Linac: procedures, QA baseline, and system limitations
This work provides a detailed account of the acceptance testing procedure and establishes a QA baseline for 0.35T MR-Linac systems. In doing so, it also identifies key system limitations, such as couch attenuation, magnetic field inhomogeneity, and small-field output discrepancies, underscoring the need for careful gantry angle selection, field homogeneity optimization, and meticulous validation of very small fields.
