Abstract

The Australian magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)–Linac program is a $16-million government-funded project to advance the science and clinical practice of exquisite real-time anatomical and physiological adaptive cancer therapy. The centerpiece of the program is a specifically designed 1-T open-bore MRI/6-MV linac system that is planned for delivery and completion of installation in 2014. Current scientific endeavors include engineering discovery in MRI component design, quantifying MRI and linac interactions, and developing image guidance and adaptation strategies.
