Facilitating 1.5T MR-Linac adoption: Workflow strategies and practical tips.

ABSTRACT:

Background

MR-guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) offers new opportunities but also introduces workflow complexities requiring dedicated optimization. Implementing magnetic resonance linear accelerator (MR-Linac) technology comes with challenges such as prolonged treatment times and workflow integration issues.

Purpose

We present here our experience and share practical tips and tricks to streamline MR-Linac implementation, optimize workflow efficiency, and improve coordination.

Methods

The first 150 patients treated with a 1.5T MR-Linac Unity^® at our institution were analyzed. Treatments were assessed based on session recordings, difficulties encountered were identified, and solutions documented.

Results

A total of 726 fractions were delivered, with a mean t
