RADIOTHERAPY SYSTEM INTEGRATING A RADIATION SOURCE WITH A MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING APPARATUS WITH MOVABLE MAGNET COMPONENTS

摘要

Various embodiments are described herein for a Radio-Therapy (RT) system and an associated method and in particular to an integrated radiation source with an MRI system featuring a variable imaging Field Of View (FOV). The FOV can be tailored for various RT-specific applications such as, but not limited to, patient setup verification and real-time tumor tracking, for example, as well as for various imaging volumes of interest.
