MRI-guided Radiation Therapy (MRIgRT) using integrated MRI-Linear Accelerators, or MRI-Linacs, is a fast-growing technology for cancer radiation therapy, offering the ability to visualize soft tissue prior to and during radiation therapy, and to adapt the treatment to anatomic and potentially physiologic changes observed prior to and during radiation therapy. Compared with current cancer radiation therapy technology MRIgRT has the potential for improved tumor control and decreased normal tissue complications. This presentation will describe the development, current status and future outlook for MRI-Linacs, with a focus on one of the differentiating technologies, motion management in MRIgRT.
